Art and Band is top notch last two years! PE and Health is what it should be ! Teachers go above and beyond for our kids. The staff is very caring and has an open door policy! They want and love it when they have active parents. The concerts and arts shows, talent shows have these kids showing what they have learned and the skills they have learned. There is a step club and cheerleading club! The outdoor garden the kids built is awesome and it is amazing to watch them create and learn new things! The real world experiences they are doing is just great! Shows them how they take what they have learned and put it into action! Great Admin, great teachers and we are lucky to be a part of the Flightline Family.

Very sad situation. My granddaughter who is a straight A student cries nightly about how she feels unsafe and numerous fights. The students fighting are sent right back to class after assaulting other students. Sad that our military children our subjected to this all for the sake of Flighline making a dollar and bringing children in from outside.

This is not a bad school but it can use lots of improvements. I am not sure that it lives up to an art infused school seeing the progress of the band, dance team, etc. They do have amazing artist in the school among the students. I feel the art teacher who is also the math teacher does a good job with that part. One of the major things I saw with the school is a lack of staff and administration can step up their games. They are not properly staffed by far and many people have to wear different hats to fill in the gaps. i have mixed feelings about the school in general and think that they can a better job especially when it comes to teachers actually teaching the lessons. Not all teach. I know they have a few students that are disruptive......ALOT and it takes time to regain the attention of the children after that but in all I think the teachers do what they can to make it work given the lack of discipline of some of the children. I would suggest a stronger administration in all and the school to be properly staffed. I believe this school can be great according to the philosophy of the school as long as it is truly implemented and consistent. They do have some of the most amazing teachers a school could have but I think the school overall could step up the morale of its students. Truly get the students and teachers working together. There were several oughts I had against the school but its not anything that cant be fixed with attention to detail. They re very last minute and I felt a lot of times, unorganized. I think for the Town Hall Meeting, it needs great restructuring as far as how its ran. One of the worst things I saw there was The Black History Program... this program was far from the essence of what Black History was all about and felt it definitely lacked heart and character. I will say this was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in the name of Black History. It was very unorganized and unprofessional to say the least and didn't really "say" Black History. Overall outside of minor things with administration, they will eventually be where they need to be. Definitely not a terrible school but has lots of improvements to live up to the theme of the school which is "arts infused" The level of maturity and professionalism can definitely step up. If you have children that attend my suggestion is to stay involved as much as possible.

Flightline is an amazing school. The teachers and admin go above and beyond to make sure all "scholars" are successful. We have been at the school for the past 3 years, and I truly hate that my child will be leaving. The school is in the top %5 of all Arkansas schools. We are lucky to have this school in our community! Our kids are safe and have fun with all of the arts infused activities that take place. They are even increasing technology use. I am confident that my child is equipped and ready for high school.
