Durham is a good school with good teachers who teaches brilliant students

I am writing this review because I am very happy with my child’s experience at Kennedy High. We have lived in Fremont for many years, and this school is getting better and better every year.First, I must talk about the excellent teachers. They are very hardworking and they really care if the student understands the lesson. In my country, sometimes teachers just talk, but here, they help the student build fine skills in math and science. My child is now more confident to solve hard problems and think by himself.I also noticed that the student-teacher ratio is much improved. Before, the classes were very crowded, but now the teachers can give more time to each student. This is very important for us because then the student does not get lost in the back of the room.The extracurricular activities are also very good. There are many clubs for engineering, debate, and sports. It is not just about books; they learn how to work together as a team, which is a very good skill for the future university.Lastly, the school is in a very safe part of Fremont. As a parent, I don't worry when my child stays late for club meetings or practice. The environment is peaceful and the community is very supportive of education.If you are looking for a school that has high standards but also cares for the student, Kennedy is a very fine choice. We are very proud to be part of this school.

I am a student at Walters Middle School. The school itself is outstanding. The teachers are really helpful, understanding, and appreciative. You can't get in trouble very easily. The teachers are lenient, which can be viewed as a good or bad thing. The P.E. teachers are very understanding; only certain teachers make you run the mile very often. The teachers themselves are very observant. I twisted my ankle, and the P.E. teacher excused me from running without a parent note or a doctor's note because they saw I was limping. I was in this school for 2 years, and I can gladly say that it was the best 2 years of my life. The counselors are super duper helpful. With that said, there are some teachers that can be rude sometimes, but there's no particular staff member who is really rude. I loved the 2 years I spent at Walters Middle School.
