The Flowing Wells School District is a family and community oriented school district. They not only care about the students but also take it a step further and offer programs for the families.

I went to this school and I just had to have my kids go here. Boy, was I wrong. It has dramatically changed in the leadership areas since I went there. The programs are still excellent and challenging, but a lot of the teachers appreciate a parent calling with concerns about their child, but don't really help. You have to be a perfect child to get any help and what percentage of the teenage kids are perfect? When you try to talk to the office people, they're rude and superior. No wonder some of the students have problems with office people. I did and I'm an adult! They are unwilling to see all sides of a situation and I certainly don't feel like a family member, as I am an alumni and was treated rudely!

This school is fantastic! I have been here since junior year and at first i was a little bit afraid to transfer because I thought it would be hard to make friends. I came from Mt View High School where it really does have good people, but the teachers and counslers do not really teach/help that much. There are some really great teachers, but i feel like i was not learning anything. I decided to transfer and i love this school! They have soooo many more classes to choose from, the teachers are fantastic and the sports are really great and it has an amazing Fine Arts program! It may seem like a low class ghetto school to outsiders, but it really is the exact opposite. The people are like a family here. I absoluetly love it and i wouldn't go back to my other school for anything.

I currently attend Flowing Wells High School and I, for one, am completely satisfied with my high school experience here. Not only are the children intelligent an d focused (with some occasional slackers) the teachers here at this fine establishment are not only educational mentors, but are mentors for my entire life. The atmospheres great and the curriculum is astronomical. Flowing Wells has changed my life and I thank my parents for sending me to such a splendid establishment.

Although my child has dropped a few percentages in her grades, I have seen a great epiphany in her study habits, social life, and respect towards other authority figures. My daughter, has an increased intellectual capacity. The teachers and courses may be tough BUT, is life easy? No, its not and I beleive our children should be pushed to their highest of potential. I currently and most probably will never regret sending my child to this school.

I love this school. I hate how kids who are struggling blame everyone but themselves for their mistakes. Fitting- in in any school is tough, but this should not be a reason why to hate Flowing Wells. The teachers may be tough also, but are they supposed to hold your hand the entire way through our high school career? Of course not, we are taught the best and we are the best.

I'm a freshman and already absolutely hate this school. The teachers are so confusing and it's very hard to understand anything they are teaching you. I've be a straight A student my entire life, now my highest grade is a C. Plus the people that go there make it so much worse. The upperclassmen harass the lowerclassmen so much is almost unbelievable . Girls there are constantly calling each other foul names and theres no way to get away from it.

My son has been a FW student since first grade and now he is a High School sophomore. It is a great school system! The dedication of teachers and administrators goes above and beyond expectations. I cannot thank you all enough for a job well done!
