Being a student at FWCD, I find many pros and cons. The education level is very high, but very well. The students are very snobby and stereotypical and often have a lot of drama.

This school was outstanding but with the leadership of new administrators and many new inexperienced or very little experienced teachers the focus has shifted to raising money and building not on the student, academics, or respectful behavior.

By far, the best education in Fort Worth. For the money, perhaps the best education in the nation. Well rounded programs, great teachers, and more national merit scholars than any school (no other school in Fort worth is close). A real emphasis on developmental skills, not only academically, but also
