Ficquett is a wonderful and unique school. The staff works very hard!!! There are alot of challenges that face many of them. Unfortunately there are many parents who do not teach their children manners and how to respect others. The teachers are the ones who end up trying to model the appropriate

I know FQ has alot more programs than some of the others because they are older and more established. I don't always feel the staff members are supported by the administration. Teaching is a hard job and many times the principal may take a parents side without listening to what the teacher has done to help their child learn. I am very pleased that my child is at FQ.

I am currently a teacher at FQ and also have a child there. I cannot believe the microscope I am under with our admin. It is the worse feeling ever. I know that I am not alone in my feelings and am sick to have to go to work most days. If it weren't for my little ones that I teach, I don't know if

I am a former employee of Ficquett. The teachers there seem to be open to teaching children with different learning needs. I believe this to be in large part due to the large amount of special education students who are mainstreamed. Staff moral suffered with the changes in administration. The new

Help! I want this to be a great school so bad. I know there are great teachers there, but there are definite problems with parent involvement and school morale. This school exudes a bad vibe of negativity. I have not felt any peace or security since my child started school almost a year ago. Also,

I believe the teachers at this school go above and beyond for their students. I know that an ongoing struggle has been with parental support and making sure that parents are involved and held responsible for helping their children with work and providing necessary supplies- due to lack of state funding.

I think Ficquett is a very great and special school. There is a very diverse group of students. The school has a large Special Ed. population as well as ELL. I think the teachers work very hard to meet the needs of ALL the students. I moved to the FQ district so my child could attend school here.
