FC is a great school for high schoolers. It has great success with academics. Sports are lacking for the most part and the ones that were good are slowly going down hill. Some athletics and performing arts are good such as the dazzlers, marching band, and theater.

I agree with the one parent who stated that if your child excels, parents will find this to be a great school. Children that do struggle tend to fall through the cracks. There are some exceptional teachers at FCHS and there are some that have no business teaching. I have personally had problems trying

All the responsibility falls on the parents when it comes to communicating about a child's progress. The same can be said of the school's administration. Often calls do not get returned or responses are delayed. Overall, FCHS is a good school, but certainly not an outstanding one. My granddaughter will be placed in a private school when the time comes. Read less

Floyd Central High School is an excelent school with better programs for artisticly gifted children than any other public school I have attended. Though some of FCHS's athletics may have suffered over the years (mostly traditional sports like basketball and football), that doesn't mean that all of them

In addition, Floyd Central's art programs have greatly benefited from attention from not only the state, but the nation and even the international scene. Though there may not be a lot of diversity at FC, that doesn't by any means make us hillbillies. I have never heard a slur against anyone based on their race, ethnicity, or religion. All in all, I am proud to call myself a Floyd Central Highlander. Read less

Students at Floyd Central receive an education above and beyond the 'normal' high school. Although the school could have a little more diversity, as a graduate of Floyd Central, I feel I was very prepared for my college experience.
