This school is not very good for the reasons I will list below:1. Students mainly socialize by race and gender, very little cross gender interaction.2. Does not deal effectively with bullying, like when people have been attacked and the school did nothing.3. PE is not very safe, with mile runs at 5mph+ average speed in hot weather.4. The punishments are extremely unequal, such as suspension for self defense and only detention for bringing a weapon to school.5. Vaping occurs in the bathrooms and the school does not do much about it. 6. Students share exploits and ways to bypass the web filter in the open.

Nimitz is a very good school, and it has a lot of diversity. Many teachers are very caring and good.Special call out to Ms Lin from 3rd grade. She really provides a wonderful and growing environment for my kid.The classes are not too hard, and little to no homework. I wish the level is more challenging for students.There was an incident involving with another student. I think the Principal handled it reasonably. The PTA and school provides music & art classes. There is soccer & basketball team for upper class kids, which are nice!

When it was time for my two kids to start high school, we heard a few mixed rumors, but our experience over the last couple of years has been absolutely fantastic. If you’re looking for a school that reflects the real world and has a super supportive, down-to-earth community, FHS is exactly that.The teachers here are seriously amazing and genuinely care about the students as human beings, not just test scores. My kids have felt so seen and supported by the staff. One of my kids joined the marching band, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible that program is—it has taught them so much about teamwork, time management, and commitment. The school also has some amazing pathways like their CTE programs and engineering classes that actually let kids do hands-on, real-world projects instead of just memorizing a textbook.What I really love most about Fremont is the overall vibe. While a lot of the other high schools in the area can feel like hyper-competitive pressure cookers, FHS is wonderfully diverse and grounded. It feels like a place where kids can actually just be kids, figure out what they are genuinely passionate about, and still get a top-tier education. The parent community is also super welcoming and involved, especially when it comes to supporting the arts and athletics. My kids are thriving here, and we honestly couldn't be prouder to be a Firebird family
