Definitely do not feel the school is safe. Staff in the front office yelling at my child in front of me in a very disrespectful tone. I was appalled by the unprofessional behavior by administration. Hopefully, there will be more protocols with respect to parents and staff in the near future. This school is newer but the school culture is low.

This school sucks. Its sexist, its rude, its discriminatory. Im so tired of it. There is a teacher here who has been ALMOST fired around ten times but he still works here. He has had so many parent complaints for being rude and derogatory towards students and hes still allowed to teach. Their dress code is sexist, Ive seen girls get dress coded for the smallest things and boys who low ride and wear bandanas which are banned at the school get away with it. I also know a girl who tried to get them to alter the dress code and they told her if she didnt stop trying theyd expel her. They also do this stupid thing which Im sure theyll bring back post Covid where we have to wear badges with our names and faces on them, which was fine and all but you could get written up for not wearing it. Even for forgetting it at home. This school sucks if you move to the area dont bring your kid here.

EfEffectiness at violence ignorance racism and intolerance doesn't really count. I only had one good teacher and she is leaving. I don't blame her.

Um... I didn't really get much. The majority of my teachers didn't care enough about their jobs to talk let alone give homework. No wonder the majority failed their sols

The administration turns a blind eye to the bullying racism and harassment that goes on in these halls.

I recently moved away from fluvanna after a year. Basically the school itself is beautiful but what goes on inside is a different story. There is so much bullying, slut shaming, racism, teacher misconduct and hostility that I am scared for the students there who think that is normal. I had a teacher who hit kids and one who taught the wrong information to her class (and by that I mean she actually taught false information on the subjects she was supposedly an expert in). One of my teachers was also blatantly racist and ignorant. Now if the teachers weren't bad enough imagine what the students are like. I was harassed for going to a dance with someone of a different race and called many sexual slurs for wearing the same shorts I had worn in Catholic school. The administration turned a blind eye when I made reports. If you have a choice get away. This school is a place i dint wish on any student.

I graduated a few months ago, I was here four 4 years. It was a pretty nice school, and the people were okay. Definitely childs play compared to Albemarle, though. My brother had it so hard at Albemarle, and I had it pretty hard here but no where near as hard. Any time I reported a bully, proper action was taken. School food is pretty decent, but I always felt nauseated after eating it. Although I did have a weak stomach back then and everything made me feel bad. Teachers are amazing! Principle is great! Mr. Lee is the greatest person I knew in the entire school. Coming back on how the teachers were, they were so nice and helpful. Sometimes kids would treat them poorly, though, and it was hard to watch, however it does not happen often at all. Certainly less than any other schools I have been to in the past. I recommend this school, and living in Lake Monticello is absolutely wonderful and perfect for those who like to go on walks or runs. There are a few different "beaches" here that are great for meditating.

This school is ranked very well by the state and U.S. reports and has held an accreditation for the past ten years. These teachers are highly neglected by the board of supervisors due to there lack of funding but they are dedicated to their students success and the SPED department is one of the best. This school also has a program of study that contains a variety of classes including CTE classes you can get your CNA certification, servsafe, and many other certifications needed for the world of work that is all paid for by the school system. Also you are not judged by teachers whether you play a sport or not.

fluvanna is judge mental to the max. if you dont play sports you dont mean a single thing to any of the staff. the teachers have love affairs with each other outside of the classroom. the bathrooms reek and the food is so unhealthy i dont even eat lunch. in the yearbook they have a "worst car" award for the seniors. isnt that degrading? way to boost your students self-esteem, Fluvanna!

The new school for 2012 is a nice up-to-date school offering a lot of extras, wear good walking shoes. The sports are good and the comradery in fluvanna sports is exceptional. It is sad to see 8th graders becoming "High Schoolers" at this school that takes grade 8th-12th. The security at dances is bad, no sign in/out! The 8th graders are pressured to keep up with these high school girls/boys in social peer acceptance. They are seperated during class work but they see them everywhere else including the bus ride time. Hopefully you have a strong communication/monitoring bond with your child when sending an 8th grader to this school. The school and county have very few minorities and they do not expect much fromminorities, except in sports. The office staff is very rude and demeaning. There are a few great teachers, a handful of good teachers and a lot of teachers that I don't know why they chose a career in teaching. Not too much bullying, low theft issues, there are rare fights and overall a well rounded child wearing the right cloths with advocating parents can do good at this school. PVCC is 30minaway but most roads in fluvanna county are very dangerous for high schoolers.

This school system needs work. If your child is highly motivated, they will do well at FCHS. However, a motivated child will succeed in any school. FCHS is lacking in teacher quality. I have a child with a diagnosed medical issue and his teacher told me, "to stop making excuses!" I have never been so insulted. The schools special education programs need attention and consistency. If you have a child that is below the "average" standard, you will need to be committed to spending time at the school and spending time teaching your child at home. There is no help for those lagging behind.

I have two kids. They both have been in Fluvanna County schools since kindergarten. Now they are in 7th and 11th grade. I think what makes fluvanna schools great is it's accessability. We are a small community of 30,000ish. The teachers are at every event you are with their kids. There have been bumps in the road over the years because of kids being kids that I needed to work out from time to time. The teachers always called or emailed to work on resolution. Neither of my kids is a bully and the school has a zero tolerance policy they strictly enforce. I am happy for this as my son likely would have been a target. I would like more advanced curriculum in the elementry school and I would also like full fledge language classes to be offered from elementry and not just 8th grade. The middle school and high school handle all advance classes wonderfully. The parents in this county are DEEPLY involved with their childrens school and activites. They have established working partnerships with the staff. We are a middle income family and we support low cost EVERYTHING. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend fluvanna to a friend.

This school has been earned the Virginia VIP rating several years running despite the county's consistent lack of adaquate funding. The teachers and administrators work long hours to help struggling students and have instituted programs like Fluco Time and SOL camp to afford students oportunities to excell in areas where they stuggle.
