I will be looking for a new school for my son. I know that most public high schools have problems but there's quite a lot at Finney, too many to name! I cannot recommend this school to anyone.

My name is tiffany and i was a student at finney high school for the year 2006-2007. I had no choice but to come here because the other schools were full. It's not even a school its a juvenile center. My parents were very unhappy. Some of the counselors had attitude problems. If you are sending your child to finney you have 2 options #1 teach your child how to fight or look for another school.

I believe that Finney has a lot to offer to our young and talented up comers. Finney offers football, baseball, basketball, and etc. Finney isn't a bad school its just all about the people getting involved with the school. Finney is one of the finest high schools that I've attended and I've been there since my 9th grade year. I have to say that Finney has offered me a lot and for that I am grateful to be apart of Finney High School. When I started out at Finney I thought that the school wasn't for me but I saw different. Finney helped me to become a better student and a better person and it also helped me to develop into an astute young lady with lots of talent.

There are multiple initiatives and programming brought by Finney's Administration and partnering agencies to promote students' success at Finney High. If you are a current student and interested in afterschool support in tutoring and other fun activities just plan on staying after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and report to SAFETY. If you interested in a production of a play and performing arts report to the media center after school on the three days to Kabaz staff. If you are a parent and a friend of the school please come and join the Finney Youth Initiative. We need your support. Great things are happening at Finney. Help us make it happen!

My Name is LaTina Elliott And I know attend Finney High School. And I have to disagree with all the people downing Finney. Why? Because Finney staff is trying very hard to get good scores on test and they are trying to improve Finney behavior wise. I think Finney is great school. And most of the people who complain about Finney kids and what Finney is not doing for there child is probably because there child and or sibling is one of the problems. I am now a sophmore and I have a 3.0 and I wouldn't want to attend any other school except Finney. Yes we do have fights but, what school you know that dont have them. But the staff is trying really hard. So stop hating on Finney Show us your support instead of your criticism.

I am a member of the gtaduating class of 2004 and Finney really helped me alot. My senior class did alot of things to attempt to better the image of the school, but there was only so much that we could do. Since my ninth grade year the school changed drastically. The principal and adminstrators did all they can to make things better. We the students also realized that if we wanted things to change we also had to do something to help. That's where the assistance of the parents and community came in. People say the school is terrible but they don't realize that it doesn't only take the work of those in the school but the help of those outside.
