Francis C. Hammond Middle School Reviews
Rating 3.14 out of 5 7 reviews
This School is one of the worst schools I've been to/visted so far the bathrooms are nasty, the Buses are fully packed with people sitting on the floor and standing up, the lunch ladies will scream at you if you don't eat and only talk even tho you ate already, the food in the school is raw especially the chicken 7/10 times it will be pink or dead raw this School is nasty, also the bathrooms there is a 40% chance your going to see a kid either vaping or cussing, all in all parents I don't recommend this Middle School for your child. - Fellow Francis. C. Hammond student.
Although I love this school, there is a lot of stuff wrong with this school. Administration kinda gave up in the last month of the school year and suspended a lot of people for next to no reason. It's very diverse, and as an Afghan, I never felt out of place at the school. However, it is a bit racist. I was called a terrorist by a teacher once, and although he brushed it off as a joke, these things are very bad. Overall, teachers are great, and I have developed great relationships with my teachers and my fellow peers. Fights happen everyday, and you always see vapes at school, but there's no action taken against it. However, the facilities are good, and there are lots of clubs available for students. Overall, FCH is just okay, and I'm sort of happy I moved out of Alexandria, because this school has lots of issues.
P.S. Look up "fch" or "hammond" on Instagram. That will show you the culture at this school.

School is boring most good electives are either full or only last at most 2 quarters, school food ranges from good to straight-up raw chicken, teachers don't care about fights or bullying and are very biased when giving punishments, they spent 3 million on new HVACs but can't fix the failing roof tiles, some teachers like those of 8-1 are good but not Ms johnson, The Chromebooks are slow and their censors like securely block everything even things we need to research the school cares more about saving face than doing an actual thing
