This is the first year that my daughter has attended FWAFA and is a 9th grader. She loves it! There is a lot of homework but I think that would be the case anywhere going from Middle School to High School. They are committed to offering a quality education that balances the arts and high academics. I was so pleased to hear that FWAFA ranked 6th in the Top 20 High Schools in the greater Dallas Area based on a study that was published in the Dallas Morning News on September 13th. Also excited to see that FWAFA 7-12 received and Exemplary Rating from TEA. We feel blessed that she was selected to attend FWAFA!
I am not sure about the high school level, but I have not been impressed at all with the elementary academics. Not that so much the teachers are always to blame, but they are trying to cram so much into one day, the kids barely have time to stick to one concept before jumping to another. It is stressful. They lack in subjects to fill in for the fine arts. They seem to only do what is necessary for TAKS testing.
The school lacks a lot of consistency. The principal is indeed makes his decision based off what the PTO thinks. He does not stand on his own and I think the students are who suffer for his lack of leadership.
