Freedom High School Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 666 reviews
Freedom definitely has its pros and cons. Many people bash the school and it is very hard to hear. So far, the best parts have been the various events that the school has hosted. One thing I'd like to see change is the school spirit and community. Freedom definitely lacks school pride and spirit compared to some of the other schools in our district. Something I do appreciate is that hey do a very good job of promoting college and or simply having a plan after high school. The counselors work hand in hand with all of their students and make sure to take time out of their days to show each student that they care about them. Another thing I'd like to see change is the schools overall organization. Especially with athletics. At times I do feel as if the staff are quite disorganized and it affects us students greatly.
I was a part of the band and choir for all four years, taking on leadership positions in all, which had ups and downs. I have also taken ten AP classes at Freedom, so I had a strong relationship with the academic side. Overall, my experience at Freedom has been inconsistent. Many students are not held accountable for the problems that they have caused, but the same can be said about the administrators. I have had both teachers that push me to be my best and teachers who are indifferent to my success. The feeder middle schools also have their problems, which affects the student body of Freedom. Some of my best memories have been made here, but also some of my worse, and I hope in the future, administration will hold more people accountable and genuinely try to have students come to them with their problems.
I feel that Freedom High School is a good, they offer lots of great and fun classes as well as a great selection of AP classes. Most of the teachers here genuinely care about their students and their well being. But as with any high school, there are down sides. There are lots of fights and the lines for lunch most of the time take as long as the lunch themselves. This means that students may not get the food they need. On the other hand Freedom has tons of sports and clubs on campus that are fun and inviting to join.
