10 Niche users give it an average review of 4.2 stars.

Featured Review: Parent says We switched from our zoned school to FAST when it originally opened 6 years ago. The main reason we were interested is because they look at the whole student.You can be on level or behind in one subject and not be penalized and kept out of higher level work in another one. They started doing social-emotional learning long before it was the “it” thing to do.And design thinking prepares you for the real world. The real world isn’t a bunch of standardize tests. It’s critical thinking and finding solutions.I’m so glad for this school, it makes my heart happy. And my children have done very well there..
