This is a great school however its extremely overcrowded!
They over accept and accommodate students outside of the neighborhood. Too many students. Extended day has a long waitlist. They dont prioritize students that actually live in this school zone.

I am a very recent alumni. This school feeds into LaVilla and its probably the best years of your life. I love the teachers.

Bullying seems to be viewed as just something kids do. Very disappointed. We have made several complaints, ranging from name calling to physical abuse. The response has been tepid and slow.

Disappointing. The best thing about it is it feeds into Lavilla - but it's become something to be endured.

fishweir is a good school when i was there 2005 - 2010 . it started turning kinda bad when mrs. lee came as our principal .

I am disappointed with Fishweir. I liked the school several years ago, but I'm not currently happy. I feel like my child is getting only an "okay" education and her current teacher is at times crass and offensive. More than a few teachers are unhappy working under the current administration and many parents think poorly of the principal. It's unfortunate because Fishweir could be a great school.

Like most schools there is good and bad here. Meet your teachers and find the good ones. The school got an A this year. Some things are improving, but there is reason for concern. I can tell you several teachers here are among the best in the county. Unfortunately I have seen some of the worst here too. Get involved and make your child's school experience the best it can be.
