I love Fremd high school, it is like a second home to me. This school does so much for its students, both in academics and extracurriculars. The course options are incredible with unique classes like fashion design and bioengineering, and there are so many clubs and sports to be a part of! From theatre to bowling to photography to coding, there are so many extracurriculars to choose from. The teachers are all very nice, I've personally had VERY few negative experiences with teachers. Everyone seems to look out for each other at Fremd, and there is plenty of kindness to go around. The atmosphere is positive and uplifting, and this allows students to get so much work done! I can confidently say that this school has made me brighter, it has helped me develop my skills, and it has made me much more confident in myself as not only a student, but as a person.
I've really liked my experience at Fremd. They have a lot of club and sports activities such as marching band. One of the reasons I believe that I've had a great experience is because I joined afterschool clubs and the marching band. Of course doing all sorts of activities had made it stressful, but I have no regrets.
Being in the Marching band is one of the best thing I've ever done. I got the full alumni experience by marching in the; heat, rain, snow, cold, and we even saw a towarado once! I have made many friends in marching band too.
Fremd is a safe and active school, but the staff seems to treat us unequally. I only got the chance to notice this after attend Fremd for four years. The staff wont let you walk around during lunch time even if you've finished your lunch and arent causing any trouble. There have also been some unfortunate encounters where they raise their voice at us. I think Fremd should work on having respectful staff and treating people equal.

When considering excellent academics for your child, William Fremd High School (WFHS) has it covered. From wide range of diversity in teaching and phenomenal lessons that lead a student to success to numerous resources that will aid students after high school. However, WFHS favors STEM based learning and STEM students over any other topics. This is the downfall, that unless a students excels in STEM based areas, they will have more pressure into achieving high academic results. This doesn’t mean that the school neglects those choosing a career other than STEM. It simply just makes it a little harder for them to smoothly go on with their high school life. Students feel pressured to always be on top so they can compete with the STEM based students. Yet overall, WFHS is a home to numerous successful students whom pave the way to well known colleges. Students graduating from WFHS will likely go to Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Duke, Norte Dame, DePaul, and many more advanced universities.
