I may move soon and have a daughter that is a pretty good bball player. She is 11 and it will be another year before we make the move but I was wondering what the youth athletics are like? Shes a decent player and I'd like to move to an area that would help her in her pursuit of basketball greatness! Lol. She's also a great student (one of 2 presidential accedemic award winners in her fifth grade class).

Floyd Central is an excellent public high school. While they are probably most known for their award-winning Dazzlers dance team and theatre department, the academics at FCHS are second to none. As a former student, I can honestly say that I was leagues ahead of my peers in college in terms of preparation, particularly in my field of study English. FC has many opportunities available to its students who want to be challenged. Whether you're looking for AP classes to prepare you for college or a good selection of electives, FC has something for everyone. There were very few faculty members who I would even remotely have something bad to say about. At least during my experience there, it never felt like a "teach to the test" type of environment. And now that the school has recently been renovated, I would definitely say that Floyd Central is an ideal place to have your child go to school.

FC is a great school for high schoolers. It has great success with academics. Sports are lacking for the most part and the ones that were good are slowly going down hill. Some athletics and performing arts are good such as the dazzlers, marching band, and theater.

athletically, a work in progress, but, academically one of the best, work isn't unreasonable, only if you don't want to be there in the first place, for the most part all of the teachers are some of the best and smartest around, it looks very good to colleges when you graduate from here also.....

Having one just graduate and another a senior this year, we have experienced several schools in Indiana, but Floyd Central by far provides the most well rounded education opportunities within the Metro Louisville area.

I agree with the one parent who stated that if your child excels, parents will find this to be a great school. Children that do struggle tend to fall through the cracks. There are some exceptional teachers at FCHS and there are some that have no business teaching. I have personally had problems trying to get certain teachers to communicate with me regarding one of my children's declining grades. All the responsibility falls on the parents when it comes to communicating about a child's progress. The same can be said of the school's administration. Often calls do not get returned or responses are delayed. Overall, FCHS is a good school, but certainly not an outstanding one. My granddaughter will be placed in a private school when the time comes.

Floyd Central High School is an excelent school with better programs for artisticly gifted children than any other public school I have attended. Though some of FCHS's athletics may have suffered over the years (mostly traditional sports like basketball and football), that doesn't mean that all of them have. In fact, most of FC's programs have flourished as the most accomplished atheletes decide to go out for teams like wrestling, tennis, and cross country. In addition, Floyd Central's art programs have greatly benefited from attention from not only the state, but the nation and even the international scene. Though there may not be a lot of diversity at FC, that doesn't by any means make us hillbillies. I have never heard a slur against anyone based on their race, ethnicity, or religion. All in all, I am proud to call myself a Floyd Central Highlander.

FCHS is an excellent school for any type of student. Although the athletic program could use some improvements, the school is streaming with numerous musicians and thesbians. FC's bands and orchestras are among the best in the state of IN. The only thing I disaprove of this fine school is that the principal does not give enough recongnition to the most talanted and excelling musical performers that try so hard to give their school a great reputation for excellence. I believe that this school has amazing academic and music programs, and I sincerly enjoy going here. I look foward to attending FC for three more glorious years.

Students at Floyd Central receive an education above and beyond the 'normal' high school. Although the school could have a little more diversity, as a graduate of Floyd Central, I feel I was very prepared for my college experience. With one semester left, of a 5 year major that took me only 3.5 years, I will graduate with a 3.995 because I received an A-. This school, academically, challenged me. I went to the state finals every year with the orchestra, and the school received a Grammy for its outstanding fine arts department. With athletics, I learned leadership skills. Floyd Central is an outstanding school with outstanding credentials. I am fortunate I received such a wonderful, all-around education.
