FWCD is an excellent school. I was new as a freshman after attending FWISD public schools. The academics are challenging, there is no way that you would ever be able to sleep through a class and receive an 'A'. The population is small however, we really are like a family. Everyone cares about each other and are able to put apart our differences. Yes the children are privileged but they use their resources to give back to the community- as seen in Breakthrough Fort Worth. Students are well-rounded, everyone participates in the triple A: arts, athletics, and academics. The school provides college-counseling. Each week I receive a one-on-one session with an experienced professional, what other school can offer that? The workload is difficult and students will feel stretched however, I know that when I leave I will be fully prepared for college and success in my later life. Visit FWCD!

I entered this school as freshman and on my first day i was scared to death, but within the first hour i had made many nice friends and they all show you around and treat you like youve been there your whole life. The athletics are tough, but the coaches dont give up on you as long as you try, and the same way with the academics. There are many teachers that should have retired a long time ago, but theyre all excellent no matter how much we dislike them. I have been to a few different schools and this is truly my favorite by far. I'll be a sophmore in a month and i cant wait.

Being a student at FWCD, I find many pros and cons. The education level is very high, but very well. The students are very snobby and stereotypical and often have a lot of drama. I notice that the effects of the drama at this school affect the students academically. My parents, myself, and some of my peers notice that the school seems to be spending their money more on the appearance of the school rather then treating the students with better things for education. Recently, they just added a new cafeteria and are remodeling the old one to be a student center. The teachers are lazy sometimes and do not know that they should retire, and neither does the school. Academically, it is okay but socially, it is terrible. If you are looking for a school more for academics, this is the wrong one.
