I attended Longfellow Elementary School, Ben Franklin Middle School, and am currently a student at Fargo North High School. Overall I've had a very positive experience with Fargo Public Schools. Longfellow had a very inclusive and welcoming environment with a big focus on literacy and hands on learning. At Ben Franklin the teachers seemed a bit apathetic but there were really great music and math programs. At the high school level there are many academic and extracurricular activities including approximately 15 AP classes and over 40 clubs, sports, and other activities. The counseling center focuses primarily on North Dakota colleges and scholarships so extra effort is required to find national opportunities. The food isn't spectacular but it is nutritious and there are generally a few options to choose from. I would say what makes FPS special is the teachers. I have had wonderful teachers throughout my education who have supported my academic, extracurricular, and personal pursuits.
Fargo public schools has been a great experience for me. I have the chance to take part in a variety classes and extracurriculars. Every teacher I’ve had since I started going to school in the Fargo public schools district; they have all been great at teaching and are kind. During my time I have also experienced a lot of diversity, there are many students with different cultural backgrounds, I have been fortunate to learn more about other cultures.
I loved the diversity growing up, such a blessing! Would have liked more professionalism and not so much pressure on going to college, instead of searching for what inspired you in life.
