School has been a challenge but federal way public schools have made it way easier on me. I have counselors as well as teachers helping me find resources for food, school necessities, interesting books and so much more. The teachers in this district are very kind and helpful, they are open to criticism on what they need to improve on as well as how they should help me as an individual. They always make their classes a welcoming and safe environment because they acknowledge that they do not know what a student is going through but they want said student to flourish in their school life. The only down side in this district are the disrespectful students, my peers don't seem to respect the teachers as the teachers do them. They tend to talk back and be a distraction to the students who want to hear what the teacher is talking about. Some changes I would love to see though would be more teachers and staff working on the vape and smoking issue.
Very diverse and inclusive. Sadly district lacks disciplinary rules, and realistic expectations t awards college. They are good at motivating people to graduate high school but not to go further in life. I have been in the Federal Way school district my whole life. It has gone way downhill since I was in elementary school and when my parents attended the game middle and high school. The sports teams lack any school spirit, and if your child is interested in big time athletics they won’t be offering scholarships in this district. Many schools are described as “ghetto”, and many years I have experienced lockdowns in my schools. I would strongly advise you to not enroll your children into this district. If you do keep in close contact and they better know discipline already because they won’t learn any from this district.
FWPS was extremely diverse and due to that I never felt out of place in regards to my race. Most, if not all, teachers and staff members were extremely open minded and flexible. TJ, the high school I attended filled me with an immeasurable amount of support, especially during the pandemic. The teachers are people I will never forget and the opportunities provided have set me up for future success.
