Outstanding school. Tough curriculum and first rate education. The teachers are great - Mr. J. Miller is the best math teacher you'll find. Kudos to the administration and staff.
forgetful teachers that cost their students $120 because they forget to write down who turned in what.
Had higher expectations of the FCHS as a part of the Fayetette County Schools. There are plusses & minuses of FCHS, like others have pointed out; but unqualified teachers (like in Chemistry - pointed out by another parent, and overheard in conversations in public places) must be allowed to move on and do what they are good at, and needs TO be substituted by qualified certified individuals. A student's loss of interest is not limted to just that, but a potential loss of higher educational opportunities in such and other related careers. Staff members of the school appears to be trying their best; but their slimmer numbers and growing student size can only add to the discrepancy in student to faculty ratio and, obvious, downward spiral. We expect quality education & we demand such. Wake up FCHS; waiting ( for a new Supt. to join) isn't an option; do something, Now!
When I see a review about a specific subject area, or program you have to wonder if it is unbiased The Science programs at FCHS are wonderful, possibly the best in our county. Students annually place the highest in the county at the Science and Engineering Fair and most years go all the way to the National level. Our Acedemic team just placed 2nd. in the State. Our Band progrm is head and shoulders above all other schools in the county. Yes, there are times when a teacher and student do not gel, but this happens everywhere. I would have a good long sit down with your student and put the responsibility on their shoulders - you are not still in Middle school, these are young adults and they need to take responsibility for their personal success. Most likely this parent is and never has been very active.
The Principal shows no concern or authority when reporting a complaint in reference to education. The principal do not respond in a timely manner. The teachers are allowed to slack in their expected performance. Parents involvement is not supported. Fayette County High school has the highest failure in Chemistry.
My son transferred here in his junior year and could not be happier. His grades are great and has not had one single complaint. Everyone seem extremely friendly and supportive. My son has stated that he loves this school and it was the best move ever. What a wonderful statement for a parent to hear
FCHS is wonderful! We have teachers that go out of their way for our children. Our kids excel in academics but also in the fine arts and sports. FCHS is not just a school, but a large extended family.
Fayette County school is among the highest rated schools in academics as well as sports. The school is involved in community concerns and the students are encouraged to become warm and caring citizens.
What I love about Fayette County High School are the great children that attend there. When ever they represent their school while away at sporting events, they are commended on how well behaved they are.
When i went to this school, the teacher's where so nice and they would take the time to explain something if you had a question about anything.
