My daughter attends kindergarten at FWA and I could not be happier with the program here. The class sizes are really small (no more than 15 children in each class) and do not increase in size as students advance in grade level. I see my daughter flourishing emotionally, socially and academically.

I worry that we have been spoiled by this wonderful school and that FWISD will not meet my high expectations. FWA provides an excellent education that every child deserves if only we could all afford it. Read less
