THERE IS "NONE LIKE US" -- no FTH is not perfect, but we LOVE GOD! My son started K3 is now in 5th grade. Heis on the "A" Honor Roll every semester! He has a "STRONG" academic foundation, that is going to carry him a long way; more so than any sport, can, and he loves sports. That is why he played community sports. If you feel your child should be a SPORTS STAR and NOT EXCEL ACADEMICALLY, I feel sorry for you and your child. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children (ISAIAH 53:3) Sports should be secondary to your child's relationship w/God, well-being, and academics! Take more pride in your child then to make him/her sports robot, subjecting them to ills of this world. I pray GOD will change the hearts and minds of those parents who would prefer their child be a "sports enthusiatic" and not academically sound. Yes, many have left for that reason, but you know I see many returning to the School's Open House! BTW, FTH now has basketball, flag football, soccer, and cheerleading.

My children attended FTHCS and at that time the school was full with approx 400 or more students. I and others pulled our children out for many different reasons --- read the early reviews. The enrollment went down to approx 100 or so children. I am not saying this is a bad school, but there were issues. Not sure what the school is like today, but you got to investigate and ask questions and if for any reason the answers are not be shared with you --- take a hint and move on.

I think this is a great school with a great mission. To teach Christian children about the Lord and his word. They also give a all around education so that the students will be productive members of society.

The children of FTHCM are WELL taught. Education, Excellence, Intergrity and Excellence in Character & Conduct is taught & stressed. The Chidren of FTHCM are taught the Word of God at a level that they can understand and apply the Word...they are taught to LIVE the Word. They are taught to Love & Obey God's Word.

The Christ-Centered atmosphere of the school, along with its rigorous academic standards and expectations enable students to press toward excellence and success in a wholistic way. Children who attend the school learn practical ways to live a consistent, godly lifestyle.

I love that school because of the Christian values it passes along to the children enrolled there, as well as the love that is shown to the children. My niece graduated from there and the school helped to build onto the foundation that was instilled in her by her parents.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
