    The school is falling apart. Ceiling tiles are falling out, water stains, carpet is turning to dust. The school itself is a wreck.
    However, the people within the school are amazing!

    It’s a great environment with caring teachers, fun activities, and has a great readiness for college! The music and arts program is one of the best in Washington state.
    Ferndale District or Ferndale in general have very genuinely supportive and nice people... everyone here are always doing something for the community and there are lots of events hosted from the school for everyone... so basically everyone knows each other. Ferndale school district has lots of system which help people who struggles to achieve whatever they want in life. From my experience, when I first moved here... I wasn’t expecting much... but then as times goes on, I can see clearly that people who works here didn’t just do it for the money but also the students. I think that what could be change would be how the school system are only based on refining students or just helps students achieve their minimum requirements when passing on to their next grade or graduating. I would like to see more programs being made to supports those who wants higher education and go beyond their own expectation.
