10/10 I love that my boys have had the chance to attend this amazing school with such a wonderful staff. the principal even remembers every student and parents name which makes everyone feel super special.

Since moving to Ferndale in 2019 I have been impressed with the sense of community and support offered to students in the Ferndale School District. While I’ve lived in other school districts with “better” ratings I’ve never seen a community come out in support of the kids the same way Ferndale does. The educators care about their students. Where there is an opportunity is a greater focus on academics. Especially in the elementary levels. I think if the academics were more robust in the elementary schools these kids would be better prepared to excel in high school. Occasionally I’ve needed to nudge the school district in the right direction when they stopped offering things like the PSAT. But overall I believe Ferndale did a good job preparing my kids to succeed at the next level.

I will never have my child go to this school again because of the experience they had here. There is drug and alcohol abuse as well as bullying. It is definitely not the experience I want my child to have growing up. The school also deals with racism. To colored students, they get treated worse and not as equals to everyone else. They also have problems with sexism. When the staff are disobeyed by students they defend themselves by coming up with racist or sexist slurs and when called out for it they deny the whole thing.
