FCPS is a great resource and provides a wonderful education for many! I have been a part of FCPS schools all of my life and feel that is a great balance for everyone while growing up. You are provided with excellent resources, a mix of good diversity, challenging but great academics, college readiness, and amazing school spirit. I personally have loved every experience I have.
A very inclusive school with a great diverse community and a group for everyone. I have been in other school districts and by far this is the best! They take problems like bullying, mental health, and financial issues very serious and make it so regardless of your circumstances you can participate. Teachers are very great. This district is very tough with school work, but do all they can to provide opportunities to their students and help them succeed!
