[quote=FPYCparent]City resident with a 10th grade student-athlete at FHS.  I don't have much of a basis for comparison with other FCPS high schools.  I'm not going to claim that its academics rival TJHSST, but I have no reason to believe that the schools sits somewhere near the bottom of the scale.  I don't know how much the school leverages its proximity to GMU (I'm an engineering alum), but I'd love to see more.  My kid has started a club there, so that demonstrates (to me, at least) that students with the desire can chart their own path that aligns with their interests.

If I had a complaint for this year, it's that the bus route for my kid could use some extra capacity.  We're the last stop and there has been no open seat in the mornings, especially for a student with extra backpacks/stuff for after-school practices.  I've been driving to the school all year.  Afternoons haven't been an issue.  This particular bus stops at one or more multi-family developments where tons of kids get on/off, so we're just unlucky this year to be at the end of the route.[/quote]
