The High school English teacher has no college degree and is not a teacher. The Spanish/social studies teacher/ coach has failed the teacher exam 3x. These numbers are all old. Only 3 teachers in high school are actually teachers, and 1 is the ag teacher.

I graduated from this school and have a professional degree. I am glad to have the educators at this school guide my children in their education as well. I am happy with their experience at FISD so far.

The TASK was designed so even immigrant non-english speaking students could pass it. It is no more difficult an exam than a GED. The education students recieve at this school hardly prepares individuals to be successful in post secondary education. A school with an average graduating class of 10-20 students shouldn't be proud of how well they do in academic contests; when they, like many students they compete against from small town schools, only go to the contests to get out of class. What percentage of Follett graduates move on to get graduate and professional degrees? Most of the people I know who graduated from here with their "gimmie" diploma are still in the local area and work on hog farms. I'm glad I was able to move away and place my child into a school capable of challenging him. The entire county would be better of having a county school. By doing so, they would better be able to meet the needs of exceptional students. Instead, like most small town schools, they fall into a habbit of catering to the slowest moving part.
