The school is a brand new facility this year. It is a beautiful and modern campus. It reminds me of a college campus. The principal is highly involved with the students and faculty. He is approachable and always ready to listen. The teachers also have great enthusiasm for their students and are responsive to parent questions. Both of my sons go to school here and both have had wonderful experiences so far.

Fuquay Varina High School is the worst school in the nation . The teachers are clueless and some teach classes that have no experience prior to subject . All the school cares about is football and their pride . Drugs are a huge problem at the school . I have smelled students that smell like weed and no one notices and no one cares .And all students have to pay 20.00 per class and pay for everything else . For any parents with upcoming high school students ,I suggest that you should not bring your child to Fuquay Varina High School .
