The building is really old and there is not enough parking for the students. The school definitely needs an upgrade. The culture is safe and good. Everyone is fairly kind to one another and not a lot of bullying. The administration really cares about the students.

First Colonial High School is an average public school. It defines basic. Much of the school is outdated and has not been replaced in many years. The best part of FC is the people. We all work to build a fun and comftorable envornment where we lack facilities.

This is coming from the legal studies academy student. I've made tons of friends at this school and have learned a ton. That being said I am only in the legal studies academy. The teachers are the best except for my geometry teacher, but I'm not gonna name drop. If your gonna go to fc try to apply for academy since it preps you for college has amazing academics and fun teachers

Administration was absolutely horrible and genuinely has no care in the world for their students. Counselors have absolutely no idea how to handle or support student...

I am a recent graduate. I wish I had never gone to this school. To say that this place broke me and left me worse off is an understatement. I lost any passion I had for education, nor do I know what path I want to take at all. I wish I had been homeschooled or gone to a private school. I'd likely be...
