This is our fourth year at the school and I continue to be very pleased with our family's experience. Our new principal, Dr. Reichenberg, sets a wonderful tone and example. She is warm, engaged, compassionate, and by all accounts is a terrific leader. Communication is great. They have introduced new programs for the students this year, including quarterly field days, monthly awards ceremonies, and other opportunities for positive recognition. My children have had excellent teachers who support them both inside the classroom and out (attending games, plays, awards ceremonies, etc). Parental involvement is strong and there is a very active PTO. While it is a large school, if you can get involved, it quickly "shrinks" and feels very much like a family. We moved to JCP specifically for this elementary school and have not been disappointed.

The best decision we could make for my son was to take him to FCMS. His academic development and excellent grades have been support by the teachers he has had during these 3 years at school, especially Mrs. Farbo, Mr. Porter, Mr. Villadonga and Mrs. Alford who have developed his social skills. We are very happy that my son has been part of the history of FCMS!!!

Honestly it’s just a school. If your can adhere to the rules and put effort into your classes you’ll do well here. it’s actually really easy to make friends, as in every classroom there is a diverse population of people (personality and race wise). and as for learning, i mean it’s school, we learn boring stuff all the time and we just gotta suck it up. the teachers will often give the class options on how to learn a required standard, which is nice. i haven’t met any teachers with an outdated way of teaching yet either. the AP and dual programs are amazing. Cafeteria food isn’t bad either (it’s not good but…it’s school so). they have good extracurricular programs(meaning they all have equal funding and there’s options to choose from too). NOW for mental health…if your child goes to the counselor and opens up about their bad mental health or personal struggles, don’t be shocked if cops pull up at your front door and backer act your kid (your kid will get sent to the psych ward by the cops, and you have to pay for it btw). and for IEP’s or 504 all teachers i’ve had so far have adhered by them pretty willingly, and i haven’t heard any bad stories regarding them either. but i guess we will see cause im going back in august with a service dog:////.
