I'm a student at Florence high school. I have many fond memories of past years in these halls. There was no bullies, no racism, no fighting, just very friendly people. There are no groups of students people are people no matter where you go and I'm glad to go to a school were it doesn't matter who your

The review from September is right. Florence is all about sports and who your parents are. There are 'groups' in Florence, and the teachers will play favorites. Florence is no better than any other school around here, including Niagra. I've been attending Florence for the past nine years, but because

Not everybody gets along here, because If your family doesn't have a past and you don't play sports, you won't be considered the 'popular' type. Florence is NOT 'the perfect school' like people claim. Read less

I read the recent review and I strongly disagree, this school may not be the best in the land, but it certainly provides a warm and healthy environment for students to act with one another.

This school is vindictive and the community believes that the school is great and treats everyone equal and fair, but the truth is it depends on what your last name is and how much money each child's parent can contribute to the school and its limited extracurriculars, which is basically just football.
... Read more The schools morale is horrible. In the beginning of the 2001 school year, the school took a turn for the better, but the concerned members of the community who didn't even send their students to the school decided to act ruthlessly and stop the great changes. The school has gone downhill ever since then, and the budget is surplussed beyond fixable reason. This is a terrible school to send your child to. They allow students to graduate without being able to read or spell correctly-I graduated with at least 15 of 62. Hope those students can find real success. Read less
