Dropout Prevention School

Fuguitt is a great school. My children have attended the school for years. I appreciate the caring teachers and staff.

I just put my daughter in this school and just by walking in I loved what I saw kids being young adults looked responsible n respectful I just know now my daughter will do great here

Schools amazing except the school offer screaming at me as I’m dropping off my child in the same area for the last two years as I’m getting dropped off in a uber. Very unpleasant at 830AM

My daughter started at Ponce this year and she is flourishing! She loves going to school everyday, her teachers are amazing! They go out of their way to keep me informed and always have an answer when I need insight!

My student attended both general education and the gifted program in this school for a year and a half. The teachers and administration were engaged, supportive and responsive.Some of the students (probably only around 10%) have difficult home lives, are disruptive, contentious and difficult to socialise with. The teachers who are able to maintain order have enjoyable classes and it isn’t hard for kids to learn, make friends and feel safe. My student had one of these teachers and also had one (substitute) that would not or could not maintain order. This second situation was more difficult and my student did not feel safe in class. Nothing was learned that semester. This problem is compounded by lack of funding for the school. Teachers could not be found and when hired, they left to take higher paying jobs at nearby schools.Luckily, we were able to test for gifted and leave the substitute teacher and rough classmates. The gifted program has amazing teachers and very smart students. It is an overall excellent program. There isn’t much homework in the gifted program and gifted students do not mix with the general education students. If this is the kind of program you are looking for, I would recommend it. If you want your child in general education to socialise with “regular people” then any child with a reasonable public school background should be able to attend here with few problems.

Great church and school. Love being a part of the school family.

Parents, please listen, DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. There has been mold here since 2019, and the administration has done nothing about it. On top of that, the facilities are outdated, old, and way too small. I remember a lot of kids leaving because the education level was so low. A buddy of mine who transferred here in 7th grade was placed in a lower reading class in high school even though he was a top reader in 6th grade. Parents, please do not send your kids here.
