Pros
I cannot think of a single pro for this unethical and poorly run charter school. My hope is that they are shut down by the Public Charter Board.
Cons
FPCS is a poorly run organization that lacks systems and organization. Their test scores speak for themselves with as low as 0% proficiency at some locations. Students are not learning or being cared for at these terrifying schools. The schools are dangerous for children, teachers, and staff members. The administration mistreats staff members. The organization is run by arrogant and unqualified individuals who manage by threatening to fire the hard working staff. They are ungrateful and always require more than the contract outlines from teachers. The payscale follows no guidelines. Teachers who they fear will leave they will pay $20,000 more a year to convince them to stay. Teachers who they do not fear will leave they will continue to pay small amounts. Teachers who reach the top of the pay scale will be let go to make room in the budget for 2 unqualified teachers who are cheaper. The school does an egregious disservice to students with IEP's. I witnessed students who had been in Friendship schools since Pre K, but could not read. Please do not work at this school or send your child to this school.
