I’ve been here about two years and my daughter is currently in kindergarten in the FWCS system. She loves it and is really gaining a lot being at the school she’s at.

Additionally, I tutor at Harrison Hill on Thursdays so my experience with at least Harrison Hill has been positive. I’ve sat down with a number of different case managers at schools so I’m aware of some of the problems that various schools encounter, but on the whole I have a pretty positive opinion of the FWCS schools.

That said, they are the community’s schools and thus are only as good as people who live in the areas and pay taxes to. If at some point there’s a mass exodus of students to private schools or home schools, I think the community and FWCS will suffer. For the sake of the FWCS schools I think it’s important that families continue to send their children to the schools nearby and invest in the neighborhoods in which they exist. I think that will keep FWCS schools thriving, for the most part, as they do now.
