My experience at Frankenmuth High School and the Frankenmuth Public School District has been mediocre at best. Over the course of my seventh and eighth grade I was ridiculed by the teachers because of my forgetful tendency. I was called out in front of the class and put on a pedestal of shame as an example of how not to be. In the second semester of my sophomore year my mother and I found out (with great trouble) that I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. (although not visually noticeable) So throughout the years that I had been put down because of being "lazy" and "not trying" I was actually trying my heart out, only nobody would listen. The special education program is atrocious in this school district. Many laws regarding special education that were being broken by the school had been covered up in a glorious façade. This school district only focuses on the natural born athletes and the out-going "perfect students." They cover up the wretched special Ed program (that's nearly non existent) and lack of care for the arts. I'm currently a senior attending this high school and am happy to reveal the true Frankenmuth High School that most people don't know about.

This particular school I would rate as average. The bad eggs bring the rating down. The middle school and high school teachers are much better in this district but there is always a few that don't seem to enjoy their job. The other reviews that give five stars for this district probably didn't have the pleasure of experiencing some of the unfortunate below par teachers.

I simply could not care less whether the principal is seen spectating at "sporting events" or any other community event. He does however lead a great outdoor program in the Frankenmuth Outdoor Explorers Club. He also goes out of his way to make all students feel welcome and continually searches for new and innovative ways to do so, be it in the classroom, hallway or cafeteria. My student's homework is relevant and rigorous and his teachers are caring and professional. But maybe the Oct. 28 poster is right, let's not judge our principals based upon academic outcomes but as to whether the principal sits in the stands and watches your little Billy kick a soccer ball or cozies up in the BPAC to watch your little Janie do her best imitation of a purple tree in Seussical.
