I'm going to be a Junior this year. With 2 years of high school already done, I can say that this…read moreschool is a great school. I've never experienced any bullying, nor have I ever seen any serious bullying. This is due to an establishment of collective commitments, and overall creating a friendly safe environment for the students and staff. All of the teachers I've had have been very kind and friendly, and that makes me enjoy school a lot more. Overall it's been a pleasant experience here, obviously high school can't be perfect, but we all try to some extent. EXCELLENT SCHOOL!

Before my grandson started going here, he was a wonderful little boy. But these kids were a bad…read moreinfluence on him! He came home using swears and playing "Rock and Roll" music. He once told me to my face I kid you not, that he dropped the "Heckin" Mustard like it was a joke! Back when I was a girl, if I said that, they would spank me! And you will never guess what he did when I told him that. He laughed like it was some sort of joke! Spanking is a serious matter. However all of the teachers are quite kind, and apparently call me a "Foxy old bird" ,so I gave it a few extra stars.

My sixth grader is currently attending FMS during a big transition year. This is the first year…read morethat every single student is issued a laptop. It is the first year the bulk of students homework is completed on the computer as well as most of the educational materials. In addition to these changes, there are also big changes in the faculty including the Principal and Vice Principal. To say that it a complicated year would be an understatement. Add to this the problems with social media and devices in the classrooms, the staff faces many hurdles that most of parents do see or hear of on a daily basis. Through these big change for the educators, staff, parents and especially student, I have been impressed that most things are going as well as they seem to be. I am pleased with the challenge and direction they are providing my child and we are doing our best to figure out the new tech issues right besides them. The school seem to be proactive in being inclusive and respectful. I hope this first semester is indicative of how the future of FMS will be.

It kind of sounds like AP and CP had a run in with the old principal. If I was rating this school…read morewhen he was there JUST on him, it would have been a 1/2 star. He was really really bad at his job. It got so bad I had to tell him he wasn't allowed to discipline my daughter without us present and he was not to have contact with my wife regarding school issues. NOW, so you understand I was these guys in 2014 as well, you should also appreciate that the new principle is EVERYTHING the other wasn't. He is kind, patient, parent friendly, respects women and is leading the school in a wonderful direction! I am an alumni of BCS, my daughter went there from 1-8th grade and my son will probably do the same. AGAIN, we were leaving this school before they fired the other guy, SO glad we stayed!

This is a small private school and unlike a public school they are not required to provide…read moreadditional resources to vulnerable populations such as ESL or special needs students. This, in combination with small class sizes, allows for a certain level of increased academic rigour. That being said, any of the legal provisions which protect students at a public school, such as rights to privacy and anti-bullying laws or teacher professionalism and credentials processes, do not have to be observed at this or any private school. At BCS in particular, these rules are not independently supported either. Furthermore, the school's administrator is punitive and capricious in his discipline tactics. He shows little regard for parent input, and is particularly dismissive of women in general. He is terse and stern with the older students, and often selects one or two students to malign as the class parriah. He does this in a very personal and calculated way. As an alumni of BCS as well as an educational professional who is invested in this community, I do not recommend this school.
