Parents who think Flying Hills is a good school will change their tune once their kids go to middle school and see how under-prepared they are. The arts program is very watered-down, and most of the arts work and projects are done at home. It will get worse when the entire school goes "arts" because unqualified teachers will suddenly have to teach music, drawing, etc. I'm glad we left.

My daughter went to this FAME school. Her best friend went there, so we moved her into the district. It has not been a disapointment,Her grades have improved as a result of expressing her self through the arts.

The Flying Hills FAME program was a big disappointment to us. The academics were very poor, and most of the arts activities had to be done at home, such as art contests, song preparation, etc. The curriculum is based on constant projects, so most of your weekends are tied up making animal dioramas, missions, etc. The teachers are not well-trained in the arts, so going to this school will not make your child a star. On top of this, the teachers expect the parents to grade most of the papers because they are 'too busy.' We pulled our child out in the middle of the year, and it was a shock to see how far behind he was compared to the new school. This is not a school I would recommend.

I have two children at F.Hills and both love to go to school. We have been highly impressed with all aspects of this school. From the wonderful principal, who is very 'hands'on'....to the superb teachers! There is much to be involved with here and everyone is welcome to be part of it...i would agree with the other parent comment that this is very much a school with a small town feeling...very close knit! I can't speak one negative! Good job teachers and Mrs. Cunningham!
