Posted April 29, 2004

My grandson lives with me so he could attend this school, I graduated and my children attend Flour Bluff. He is an all A student in the varsity ROTC armed drill team. Flour Bluff has always been supportive of all its students. There is little disparity in how they respond to both the good and not so well disciplined students. If you screw up they have a solution and standards that students are expected to achieve. Their response to student special needs is above the norm and their teachers are on the whole interested in their students and fair. No school is perfect but being an alumni I'm sure I feel this one is as close as it can get.
