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 have had a very neutral experience here at FPCHS. I adore the people and my peers but I feel the school may have been to big to feel personally connected to the staff. I believe most teachers here are good and truly push us to do our best but there was no real way to have a personal connection with any staff members due to them having hundreds of students to teach.

This school gives you many opportunities to try out different areas to see what you're truly interested in and it has good academic accelerated programs as well as helping you do college and high school at the same time.

Overall, FPC has been a great experience despite all of its flaws. I feel that the school needs to unite the students and the teachers better, practice better communication, and execute solutions to constant complaints. All to obtain the results the admin desperately seeks.

Like another student said before, the school cares more about tardiness and absenses. They are also adding something called "e-hallpasses" now, to prevent skipping and so. Personally, I find this pretty nerve-racking, nobody should be timed on how long they should be in the bathroom or going anywher...

Instead of the school worrying about the grades of the students they are more worried about students being late. I'm currently a junior In Fort Pierce Central High School and it has been a problem since the second month of school with the lunch detentions and the in-school suspensions I've received,...
