I attended this school from K-12. My child currently attends. (Only attended a few years here and should graduate soon) It’s a daily struggle to “undo” the lackadaisical approach the school has to rules and expectations with our child who requires structure and rules. The so-called zap program (zeros aren’t permitted) is a joke. Children aren’t pushed to excel and do their best because there’s always another chance. Call me “old school” and maybe all public schools are this way, but everyone receiving the participation award is just pitiful, nothing earned or no effort required. We receive notes from teachers with misspelled words and incorrect grammar, texts from teachers on Sunday’s and sometimes after 10pm or at 5am. The small town politics is blaring in this small town school system from the top to the bottom. College preparedness is a joke. This site doesn’t lie with its statistics. I’m thankful I was a self motivated, hard worker thus didn’t need that extra push or motivation. I am college educated and successful but I credit my parents not FISD for this. If you’re looking to start a family do your research of the school systems as this should be a vital factor when purchasing a home. Your tax dollars should count for something.

I went to this school from Kindergarten to my senior year and it was terrible. I watch my siblings go through some of the same things I did because this school does not care. Their saying is that every child matters but that is very much not the case. I highly recommend not sending your child to this school because they will not have a good experience. Teachers, principal, counselors none of them will do anything to help your child.

My daughter has gone here since the 7th grade, she is a senior this year. I do think there is a lot of favoritism playing our in the school but in general it's a good school. They do seem to care more about the athletes but then again this is Texas what can you expecr. My daughter does get the help and attention she needs from her teachers, and there hasn't been any problems with safety. The new principal and superintendent are doing a pretty good job so far. My daughter only seemed to have a problem with one teacher, the teacher older and doesn't relate well with any of her students. I think they could offer a better lunch and breakfast menu, more fresh fruits and salads, but all the money seems to go for athletics.

There is no sup or mgmt of teachers taking place, they are more worried about being friends with the teachers. There have been teachers with inappropriate language and actions in classrooms, physical contact, teacher student relations, with at least one teacher arrested for sexual relations with a student. Most accusations are swept under the rug so administrators don't come under fire for them. Parent concerns are heard but not recognized, because they just really don't care, unless it is one of the teachers kids. Unless your family has been in Frankston for generations then your kids will not fit in. Most of the staff is related to each other and like to spend their time gossiping instead of teaching. As far as sports are concerned, your kid won't play unless you are a lifelong resident of Frankston or you are lifelong buddies of the coach. They pick and chose what rules they want to follow for which kids. This is not limited to just sports. Find another school district, this one is worthless unless new supervision gets rid of at least 90% of the staff. Frankston is the lowest paying school district in Texas, so I guess you get the bottom of the barrel.
