Teacher appear to be concerned about the quality of education. Principal cares about the school as a whole. However, I would like for students to have a few extra minutes to get from class to class during the day. Most students haul all of their belongings from class to class because there is no time to go to lockers and make it to class or a bus on time. Please add time so that students can unload and load as necessary throughout the school day.

Disappointed beyond belief my stepson moved in with us and was transferred to another public middle school across the country and they are floored with dismay at how terrible FLMS was for his education. Blue ribbon means they only care about blue ribbon not their students so they move them along deserving or not!. They graduated this poor child from 6 grade but yet new school has no idea how and neither do I, I work with him at home and see his level. Granted parents raise children not schools that’s why he moved, nevertheless educators bare the responsibility to prepare a child for next grade and not just slide him in to the next year when the kid is still stuck at least 1 year behind. Who evaluates these kids, who controls why this school has a good rating? Is it predominantly white and that raises the grade/rating than that’s awful and at the very least inaccurate! The parents who are from that area are more than able to pay for tutors that would definitely help the school grade but not the teachers clearly do not care about kids’ knowledge level just have creative ways to have good ratings. DISGRACE.
