  • I would like to say the FCA is an excellent place for your child. The staff really put the kids first. The level of education and communication is excellent. The staff knows the students and takes time with each when needed to promote academic success.

  • Teachers give unnecessary amount of projects with enormous expectations in regard to content, they HAVE to know the students are NOT doing these reports WITHOUT the aid of their parent(s). More focus should be placed on basic "3R's" and less on horrendous, detailed projects and the length of girls' skirts.

  • my grandchild is former student--during his/her time at your school unusual amount of class disruption by rowdy classmates and inability of teacher to control her students were two major areas of concern, your staff should be better prepared in their teaching and disciplinary skills, ESPECIALLY as they are teaching such a LOW number of students
