I have 3 children at Fort Hill. My son played football and my daughters are in the band. They are all 3 involved in other activities as well; tennis, drama, choir, wrestling, mock trial, science bowl, environmental bowl, etc.. You get out what you pit in. But over half the football team has a 3.8 or higher GPA. The coach pushes players to make academics a priority. Football players also have a special needs football buddy. And a few years ago one of the special needs students was the homecoming queen. Chosen by her classmates. These kids are learning more then x and o's and so much more then what can be taught in a book. My son was able to take 2 years of ap physics and ap em and ap bio. Plus ap calc. My daughter has 4 ap classes her junior year and next year will be duel enrollment

My son has been here since 6th grade and it was a great choice we had to attend braddock for a month and Washington is 10 times better. Some kids mess with others but my son sticks up for himself and he is fine. Overall he has had a great middle school year and learned alot, his reading level jumped up by 100% in one grade, so the teachers are doing a great job and i am happy.
