(January 2009)
"I love love love this school. I transferred from another county at the beginning of high school and now my daughter go there. The teachers are wonderful, they really care about the students and they are very creative in their teaching meathods. Even all of the students are polite and well-rounded young adults. "

"As a former student, Class of '06, I highly recommend this school for its outstanding extracurricular activities. As a band member I learned to play several different types of insturments and I am still using those skills today. The administration isnt the greatest and the teachers do the best they can to keep students under control. The softball/baseball programs are top notch. The agriculture is one of the best in the state. If you have any of those skills this school is for you."

"As a former salutatorian of FCHS, I feel as though I gained the very best Franklin County had to offer. That being said, Franklin County's very best is hardly up to par with the rest of the state. Unfair teachers and administration seemed to be a huge issue when I attended, and from what I hear, it is still a problem today. Although the school does boast an incredible agriculture department, the other areas of the school are lacking and receive much less attention and funding. While a few teachers are outstanding (particularly in the English department), the content taught in each class does nothing to prepare students for standardized tests or college. The administration was too relaxed in academic areas and too focused on insignificant matters throughout the school. If you want the absolute best for your child, I highly recommend placing him or her somewhere other than FCHS."

"If you are looking to prepare your child for a high education, then this school is most certainly not for you. Do not go here, the administrators are incompetent and unfair."
