Worst school ever. Some of the staff are very unprofessional and bully individual students. When you ask a question via email, you get back a very rude response.

Florence high school is a terrible school. The academics aren't that good and all they care about is football and cheer. The teachers and staff in general don't care about their students. There have been MANY instances of staff wrongly accusing students of things they have not done and punishing them for unjustified reasons. Instead of giving out a detention or listening to the students, they immediately suspend them with no evidence against them. The school doesn't seek to help their students in any way.

Our school is a great school, only A-Rated school in Pinal County 3 years in a row! Our athletics are great and the atmosphere is even better.

This school is NOT good. The teachers aren't engaging and some are pretty lazy. Some of the staff/students are rude too. All this school cares about is athletics, especially football. If you're looking to pursue something in the arts, then this school is NOT for you. There's not even an orchestra, which I was looking forward to since freshmen year (and I'm now a junior and there STILL isn't one).

I am the proud mother of three BEAUTIFUL children who have benefited from a positive educational experience at FHS! My oldest graduated with a 4.6 GPA in 2011. My second graduated as one of the three IB FULL DIPLOMA RECIPIENTS. And my son is thriving academically, challenged every day with the rigorous course study that will ensure his IB status, as well. My children have had THE BEST teachers and administrators that go over and BEYOND what is expected of them to be certain my kids are successful. I am quite pleased with FHS!

I went to Florence High for two years and I do recommend this for anyone who wants a quality education. The IB program is really taking off and is one of the only ones in the state. Although the band is so-so, the football team and other sports have done excellent. chess team and cheer team won state. My teachers were awesome and I learned alot for them, minus the exception of theband teacher that had recently changed. If you are in it for the band, go somewhere else but it really is a great place to get an amazing education
