The PTO is very active, and plans many wonderful events for the students.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school. The dress code is sexist, the teachers don't teach well (they give answers and don't teach), fights happen so often and the school doesn't do anything about it. Some of these fights have blood. There was a week of just fights. Three years and the only good teachers there were my seventh grade geography teacher and seventh grade ELA teacher. If you need to go to guidance, you rarely actually get to. Students are limited to having 3 passes to leave the classroom a day (leaving the classroom means going to your locker, bathroom, library, anything). If you've used up all three passes and need to use the bathroom, then oh well. A year or two prior, there were maggots in the milk and food. The lockers are too small to fit anything and a year ago there were ants in the lockers.Student Review2y ago - Freedom High School
