Fresno Unified School District Reviews

Ever since the summer after middle school graduation I've been trying to adapt myself to Fresno High School in as many ways as possible. Taking freshman prep courses and playing in summer volleyball conditioning really helped myself become acquainted with my new campus and fellow students. So far, I'm just halfway through my first year here-it's been an amazing experience! Participating in multiple clubs, a play, and sports team all while maintaining honor roll has kept me busy, but I've loved every second of it! Well, almost every second- the long lunch lines for mediocre food, aggravating teachers, and tedious assignments I could do without. Yet it's all worth it, for I know that at the end of the day I am proud to be a Fresno High Warrior!

There was many things that I love about being part of Fresno unified school district. One of the things that I love is the diversity and college ready awareness. It’s amazing because I feel that the Fresno unified school district staff, teachers, and administrators help a lot by giving me knowledge of the requirements that I need to get into college and scholarships that I can apply to do good and be financially ready for college. Another factor that is amazing about being part of Fresno unified school District, is the diversity. Having the diversity shows me that there’s many other cultures and religions out there which is such an amazing experience to have because going out into the real world everything is diverse.
I have been in the Fresno Unified School District for about 8 years now and I have seen many school sites go through development to offer better facilities to students and promote a diverse school culture. In addition, certain buses include internet, therefore it allows students to work on homework right on their phones. Hence, technological use is encouraged in our education. The district also takes into consideration the voices of the students. For example, in the past I completed a survey about what type of facility I believed was needed to built at my school. Furthermore, students have recently been advocating for the district to improve safety on school sites to prevent school shootings and the district has done a sublime job on considering their demands. Lastly, one thing I would like to see a change in is on the food provided.
