As a former student here, please trust me, don't ever go here. Some of my teachers were overly rude and, for some reason, had a grudge against me. I remember I asked one of my math teachers if my answer was right, and she started shaming me in front of the entire class in a loud voice. Not only that, one of the teachers literally sent me OUT of the classroom for ¨Talking¨ while he was talking, which by the way, wasn't me! I remember I was wandering the halls crying because I didn't know where to go. He didn't even tell me to go to the office; he just told me flat out to get out of his classroom. Some other teachers are alright, but it's very apparent they don't care about their students and really don't " teach " us; they just give us a worksheet and tell us to use Google. The bullying in this school is terrible, and the staff refused to really do anything, even though I reported the same person 3-4 times for bullying and harassing me. Not to mention the fact that teachers have clear favoritism towards students. Overall, PLEASE send your kids to any other school! Because this one is terrible!!!!!

My son has been a student at FRES since Kindergarten, and I have never seen a more dedicated and caring staff. As a former teacher, I've worked with a lot of people who are "just there for the paycheck", but every person I've interacted with at FRES goes above and beyond - they all deserve a raise! The staff are excellent with communication, and are just genuinely kind and personable people.

Honestly I feel like I was tricked came to the school to do the walk-through and my daughter started her ninth grade here last year and the campus is beautiful and big. So I thought this was going to be a great environment for her. But every other day there’s videos of fights they even have an instagram page where both students and staff are caught sleeping in class. I have had to deal with the incompetent staff no set up for guidelines and policies lack of staff lack of transportation my daughter spent half of her 10th grade year failing classes because teachers weren’t grading assignments that were giving on days that they weren’t in school she went through her first quarter with only half of her teachers in multiple days of either not having a ride home from school or not having a ride to school I have come to pick my daughter up on multiple occasions and given different times for when I can pick her up from school which is a major inconvenience when you’re trying to let them actually stay for part of the class and pick them up before two which is the time that is stated but when the office doesn’t feel like dealing with it they’ll tell you you can’t pick up your child I am sick of schools that have rules and guidelines for children to follow in order for them to be successful but the adults don’t have to follow the same thing the school is all front all full of all looks if you care anything about your child education do not send them to Knightdale high school!!!!
