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.

As a junior at FLC, I would describe this school as a place to be yourself , never have i seen clear bullying going on at this school. Everyone has friends and i rarely see other student alone. The teachers here are amazing, very understanding and supportive.

First year was virtual so wasn't musch to be said. First year back(sophmore year) I had a lot of fun, joined many clubs and sports. Junior year was more involed with clubs than sports and the school spirt really came out.

During the years I've been at this school, I haven't had any problems. I think what made my experience here better was the fact that i got along with the right people and my counselor was a great help. The school event we've had have been great, at least for me. The staff and teachers are all so nice, of course, very strict when needed. Overall, I've liked it here.

I am a student here at f.l.c and it isn't what most people think or believe. Overall the school is ok. I say this becuase they lack extra-curricular activities, the credit system is unreasonable because there is no point for it, and the funding isnt great neither. For example the building is old and...
