Teachers give everything as homework so they can Facebook all day during class and stay focused on their computers. Students have too much homework. Teachers not teaching.

They dont teach. All they care about are SOL's. There is no attention on class and what students are doing.

This school caters to the popular kids only. All others are left behind.

School administration denies it I even happening.

Hortible. If you want your child to have a good education keep them away from this school. If your kid is popular then you will have no problems.

My child is currently attending this school. I feel that the teachers challenge the students to learn.

This school is terrible especially if you are an African-American. They purposely try to fail all African-Americans. My children went to high school at Fort Chiswell and so did I. Things really changed after Mrs. Jackson retired. The school became more racially biased and the teachers are less prepared than other schools. One of my sons finally had to graduate from PCHS because of the poor leadership and constant harassment from the principle and the resource officer. I hate to see a school that I loved so much totally go downhill.

This school definetly does not prepare students for a college education. I know many students who have graduated from FCHS and have trouble doing simple math still today. Students who have graduated and went on to college and had to repeat classes at the college that they had already taken at FCHS because they didnt know how to do the work. The prinicpal is a joke..someone else definetly needs to be running the school who actually cares about the students and not just the football jocks!
