Overall the school aims for high standards in education and student companionship. There is an abundance of extracurricular activities for all students including field trips and school events. It's a nice campus in a sense that its designed like a college campus that is full of history and traditions. A unique thing about this school is and how much pride people have for the school.
Of course my time in fife high school was short because of coronavirus, but I consider myself a lucky person because of the the experience I had and the memories I made. With that being said I did have bad experiences at this school regarding academics, personal issues, relationships, and online learning. I believe I went to what I went through for a reason. At first I was frustrated and angry with school because I didn't know better. I now realize that I can look back and see what I valued most.
For me personally I have one change I want to see at this school and that is longer lunch periods.

Fife is a pretty generic public school. It has its fair share of kids and everyone is nice. It’s kinda really average to the point where nothing happens at the school. The school itself seems very aware and accepting of everything going on recently. The only thing it really lacks is in academics. The school is pretty wealthy so it puts a lot of money into the technology department which I think is very good. However, because it is a small district it doesn’t have a wide variety of classes. I think that the art and music departments lack support the teachers fund most of it. I just think that the school should fund more of programs in those categories. Also, if you’re a more mathematic science person Fife doesn’t offer much in those categories. I don’t think there is a known math club or science club you also can’t skip courses. They do spend a lot on business and sports clubs though and are known for it well. Overall the student body is socially active and It’s a pretty good school.
I've attended school in the Fife School district since middle school. It is a very close knit community. With the smaller school size it helped foster and grow students to be confident and ready to move on to the next level of their education after high school.
