Now that I am currently checked out of this high school, it is safe to say that it was an honor being a student at Fremont. All those horrid misconceptions about this school being 'ghetto' is all wrong; it's just the fear of the unknown that the ignorant suburban folks embrace. They all believe that
... Read more we're such a terrible school because of the correlation of our demographic makeup to our test scores. What does other nearby schools like Monta Vista has to offer? They're a predominantly White and Asian school. Where's the diversity there? Aside from my obvious ranting, the teachers here do care about student progress. Having been in the Drama department these past four years, I knew that I was supported by my peers and my teacher. In conclusion, don't base your decision purely on test scores. Go for the environment. Read less

There is a common misconception that this school has a huge gang problem, which is definitely not true. It is actually a safe campus and better than most schools. The major problem
... Read more with this school is that there aren't as many challenging AP and Honors courses offerred like many other schools do. This is only because there are a number of students who need remedial courses so the funding is focused on those courses instead of the challenging courses. I think this can easily be corrected by cutting the remedial courses and focusing on the challenging ones because frankly the kids taking those remedial courses don't really care about academics and will not go on to college and succeed.

I am proud to have graduated from Fremont. Contrary to common misconceptions which plague such a rich institution, I found Fremont an accepting, challenging, & safe environment.

Students easily interact with individuals from all walks of life, giving them the opportunity to expand their friendships beyond exclusive 'cliques' which tend to arise at other schools.

Fremont will not only give them a great academic experience, but will expose them to a diverse & open community to learn from. Read less
