i'm a freshman and i hate it so much. i'm an A/B student and i ended up with a 3.0 GPA for first semester, and all honors classes! the teachers are absolutely horrible and have no idea what they are talking about. the kids there are really rude and about half the school smokes pot, and all the teachers are so clueless about it. i'm so glad i'm transfering next year.
I'm a senior at FV, and I have attended for 3 years. It is one of the worst schools I have ever attended. I came from the north and the culture shock was horrible, but the kids here are NOT accepting of new cultures. Some of the teachers are incredibly clueless, some of my classes require the kids to teach themselves! I would not recommend for future students.
absolutely is not a good school...most of the teachers quit and new ones who have no clue about the subject they'e teaching get the job and then it's hard on the students...i'm a straight A student and i work hard and i love school but now from experiencing a year at FVHS i hate school and my grades are horrible..the principle does not help at all when you make appointments with student services they fail to contact you back...the school is too wrapped around athletics and school pride..if they were as wrapped around grades if they were athletics and school pride in my own opinion they would be one of the top schools in wake county
I'm a freshman at Fuquay and I absolutely love it there. I was apprehensive about coming to this school at first, but I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. My favorite thing about my high school is the school spirit and the community support. All of the students and alot of parents have Bengal Pride and it's really great to see.
Great school, with a very carring environment that makes the school unique. Teachers truly take intrest in many aspects of the lives of the children who attend. Also, the diversity in the school is a great way for the children to interact with others unlike themselves.
I spent all four years of high school at Fuquay and enjoyed them. The only problems that I ever had were with a few less than desirable teachers. I graduated with a high GPA, a good SAT score, and got into my first choice college, NC State. This school offers many opportunities to those who seek them out. The principal is new for 2005, and from what I hear, a very competent leader. If I had children, I would have no problem sending them to Fuquay.
