I would have to say this is the worst school i have ever seen. They can’t keep a math teacher for the life of them, and single out students they’ve deemed as “bad”. The environment is typically not well kept, and while some staff seems friendly to parents, that doesn’t mean much.My child is falling farther and farther behind, because they hired some math teacher who didn’t understand how to teach, before she was fired. I will not get into what lead to that, just that she did some unsavory actions towards one of the students. I have never felt such disgust with a school, and if for whatever reason you are thinking of placing your children in this school, I would reconsider, as I am currently.

This is the worst school I've ever gone to, and I've been to several. The curriculum is about 3-4 years behind other schools in some subjects. Then there are the teachers. Some of them have an obvious disdain for students who aren't athletes and have no control over their classes. It's very much like attending inner-city schools to go in to class and see everyone sitting with their desks in circles and talking. The teachers continue to teach...to who? I'm not sure, because no one's really listening to them. Then there are the teachers who don't even do that. They just take role and then leave everyone to do whatever they want. I took a class where I was the only one who did the assignments and gave my presentations, and I ended up with a B. When I found out that other students were getting A's for no work, I stopped doing the assignments. That's when I started getting A's, as well. I'd NEVER send my kids to this school.

My son had a great year at Fisher's Peak! His teacher was supportive and encouraged him to always do his best. The principle was always active and present in all school functions. The admin staff were always pleasant and helpful. Over all this was a excellent experience for my son!
