[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the school is very good
yes many nay sayers that it’s mediocre bc it’s not a pressure cooker for those who don’t want it. i have news for them.. Karma kicks in at some point
easy to find friends. parent community very friendly. Administration is strong
expulsions yes in extreme cases they don’t take any BS when the kids break the pledge they all sign at the beginning of the year. for less extreme cases they have detention and honor council (committee of teachers and peers). the learning center is wonderful resource. there’s a lot you get for your money including many teachers  who have the time to be invested in your teen’s success. 
PS i have had a few parents of big 5 etc tell me about buyers remorse (we have a junior) and wish they had looked/considered more broadly and the course selections are more appealing to them at FH as well as the peer groups. [/quote]

No one at a Big 5 would wish that they sent their child to FH.  [/quote]
I attended a big 3 and was miserable. I wish I’d gone to FH. And FH was one of our top two contenders for DC for HS. Didn’t even consider my big 3 alma mater. [/quote]

I feel sorry for you and your children...so sad you have to feel superior by putting others down for not having your superiority views of private school.  The world is much bigger than this microcosm

Sounds like your DC and you were not Big 3 material.  It was wise to apply to a much less advanced school.[/quote][/quote]
