GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I like it at the freshman center we have really nice teachers and cool administrators. We have great academics and good sporting teams.

Going to the high school, I was a little nervous. The first day wasn't as bad as I thought. The teachers seemed really nice and welcoming. Going to a high school was definitely a change from middle school but I love that we feel more free to do things and we have a ton of career classes we can take in the high school. They also treat you more as a young adult rather than a kid.

It is a safer environment with the benefit of being close to the high school for sports and extra curricular activities without being around the higher grades all day. The teachers primarily teach only freshmen classes which helps them key in on the developmental needs of 14-15 year olds

I love this school. It is a great place for anybody because of the diverse culture, friendly people, and broad curriculum. If there is a class your class likes there is a good chance FFC has it. I went there last year and had the time of my life. It was fantastic and i would recommend it to anyone.
