4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m not sure how FHS ranks as high as it does. The focus is not on academics, and admin spends more time making TikToks and drinking coffee than caring about students’ success. Lawless parking lot with no supervision, safety issues swept under the rug, sports > academics. Positives include a good teaching staff and nice front office. Also one of two IB programs in county (although principal puts little value in it even though it keeps the school afloat).Parent Review2mo ago - J Larry Newton School
