Considering our options WFFA is better than MISD for our HS son. His teachers know his learning strenghts and weaknesses. He gets academic attention that MISD was not capable of. Since attending WFFA his self esteem has soared. The school does have administration problems and HS parent involevment is

They have several extracirricul choices for HS students; art, computer, music, basketball, ROTC. Football & Baseball is through a volunteer coaching program, which consist of several overworked and underpaid teachers. Again these teachers really care about thier students. Read less

From what I've seen, the administration (from superintendent on down) is not connected with their staff and shows poor instructional leadership. There is too much change. I definitely see that administratioin wants improvement, but the changes have gotten to be too many, too often, and not in the best

My kid's teachers have been great (actually excellent), but you can tell that even they are frustrated. I am an involved parent who asks a lot of questions. The more I learn the more I fear for the educational growth of not just my own children, but all the students. I don't think most parents are truly aware the issues at WFFA. Needless to say, my children do not attend this school anymore. Read less

Both of my school aged children attend WFFA and we have been very happy with it. The biggest eye opener for me has been the exceptional manners from about 98% of the kids you pass in the halls. It's something that you just don't see these days.

I think the quality of academics is no different than any other school. They provide the same materials and books as other schools in the area. They also provide tutoring everyday after school for any student. In fact they encourage it. As far as sports, they have football, basketball, softball and golf.

I have 4 kids that go to WFFA and 2 of them are in high school.My two kids that are in high school came from public school and decided that they were tired of the things that were happening in there school and wanted to go to another school. This school has been great for them. There is more discipline here. Over all, I think this is a great school. Read less

I have been pleased with the Pre-K program, I don't necessarily think the problem lies with the instructors as it does with the environment most of the children attending the school are coming from.
