    This school is a piece of my heart, since all of my family went to FA and my father is employed here. I have grown up in these walls and the amount of pride I have for it is so strong. I've always been so excited to go here, and I'm so proud to be a part of this years graduating class. FA is always trying to improve while still maintaining traditions and I believe that's a large reason it's so successful. While academics are a priority always, students are encouraged to explore what they're interested in. If there's not a program for it, one will be made. Students have to take initiative, but if there is effort put in they will be rewarded. All in all, I can't imagine having my high school experience be anywhere else. The memories and lessons I will take with me into my life will never be forgotten.
    Definitely the best school in the area for academics, resources and diversity, all of which are thanks to the boarding students. Kids from the area are blessed to able to attend a school that gets benefits from having paying students. There are many excellent teachers, but also quite a few who are inexperienced, you just have to know which teachers to shoot for. My least favorite thing was that there is annoying push for teachers to use technology whether or not it is needed. Also small town issues can be unpleasant at times, but are unavoidable.
