Fossil Ridge High School

Posted May 6, 2009

The school and staff are great. Being an enrolled student at the school, I can tell you that some or most of the negative remarks made by the parents are either somewhat or completely false. Despite being classified as a 5A school, class sizes are at the most 20-25 students, school spirit is very, very high, and disciplinary actions are very severe, and to the fullest extent, no matter the situation. The teachers and administration are very nice to everyone. Granted that there may be a small amount of violence now and then, it's nothing worth noting. You'll never go to a high school that doesn't have fights. I'm giving my school the highest rating because of these reasons, and I look forward to completing the rest of school at Fossil Ridge. Go Panthers!

I transfered to this school district and let me say, I was shocked in good ways and bad ways. Let me start by mentioning the most important part; THe istructures are great when it somes to helpiing the students. The concern I have about this school is the amount of bad behavior. The majority of the student body receives no dicipline. I've sat in class a number of times and listened to students curse out substitutes and I've watched students in the hallway display inapropriate behavior with other student and the teachers do not even blink. The academic system is nice but the student body needs a little work.

I particularly love the English Department here at FRHS. My daughter had the opportunity to have one of the best English teachers I have ever encountered. His name is Mr. Manginell, not sure on the spelling, but he not only helped improve her reading abilities, but helped her to overcome her fear of writing, and to become the best writer that she can be without fear of rejection. Thanks to him, she has had an amazing school year this far.

Faculty need to more closely supervise what goes on after practices and events. My dtr is a Freshman their this year. The VB selection has much to be desired and the softball and track coach was rude and insulting to her. Academically, she has encountered great instructors and is enthused about her classes. She works hard and is rewarded for that. The dance classes are wonderful and encouraging. Her cell phone was stolen as were another of her friends from their pockets! So be careful with your possesions. As everywhere, there is good and bad. Great academics, standard or substandard extracurricular activities and administration. The principal last year at every meeting alluded to all the rumors about his school and how they would overcome them, Im hoping they did. So we are eagerly awaiting the opening of the 4th high school in Keller ISD which is nearer our home.
