"Poor communication from teachers and staff. Arrogant in every way imaginable. Too slow to realize they a second rate operation."

"There are some great teachers at Fry. If you are lucky enough to get them life is great. Overall, the school is too large to accomodate the needs of my children. The bullying is a big problem. Administration's hands seem to be tied when holding a bully accountable, and it ruins it for everyone else. Good job to the teachers who really care and work hard!"

"Fry has become a large factory over the past years and this results in non-inclusive environment. Class sizes of 27 first grade students are the norm. The environment is extremely competitive and it has become nearly an obligation to enroll your child in math tutoring in order for him or her to keep up with peers in class. The principal and support staff are not responsive to parents and have a rather arrogant behavior. The school sends out an enrollment questionnaire asking parents for the names of children they do not want their sons/daughter to be in class with; rather than ensuring that an inclusive environment is created where occasional problems are discussed with all parties concerned and solved. Fry has become the victim of its own success and is going downhill big time."

"i completely agree with the reviews , it is a good school if your child is doing exceptional well, if your child is average..good luck!! teachers have very little understanding about the age and the diffrent ways in which each child learns and makes progress. the teachers have super expectations from the kids and some kids are working so hard to achive the pleasure of the teacher . the teachers dont encourage the kids enough. as a parent it is very frustrating when you hear mostly negatives about your child and little hope even for smallest shortcomings. i agree it is 'critiacl ' to be critical about the student but no so much that you forget to encourage them as well."

"Fry is a wonderful school. The only negatives are really a result of the high expectations of the parents. The bar is very high for the kids and the teachers. In the big picture, most children would be very lucky to go to school here."
