I went to four different high schools, and this one was my favorite one…read more I had some amazing teachers including Miss Paris, Mrs. Pavlecic, Coach Freitas, and Mr. Duer. Mrs. Freitas was my first PE coach when I transferred there, and two years later, I joined her gymnastics team. She was such an amazing coach! So sad she retired after my year! Mr. Duer was my pre-calculus and calculus teacher. He taught very very well! I was able to understand everything. His practice tests helped A LOT. He always had ramen ready for his favorite students... and can't forget about the doughnuts! I had some pretty bad teachers as well including my trigonometry teacher who got fired/left. One time she made me slap myself just because I missed a question on the test. She also yelled at me one time for giggling during study time. Looking back at those times, I kind of want to giggle since it was years ago! She was such a bad teacher haha. The administration changed when I attended. Bob Moran was our new principal when I was in my junior year. He is great, and even signed my yearbook:) The one thing I did not like about the new administration was this: if we were even a second late getting to class from lunch break, we would be forced to go to a one hour detention after school. I had to go one time, but it wasn't a big deal since I used that time to do my homework. I had a lot of fun on the swim team, badminton team, and gymnastics team. Mostly everyone was nice. School spirit was high. I loved how the school gave free doughnuts to students who wore school spirit clothing on a specific day of the week. Spirit week was a BLAST. Senior week was sooo special and amazing! I will never forget the Waterworld picnic and senior cruise. Can't forget to mention the senior trip to Disneyland! What a dream come true! The school does a great job with school dances, especially prom. Junior and senior year prom were both so beautiful. Junior year prom was at the SF City Hall! So gorgeous! The school definitely needs an update though! They need new lockers for everyone! Especially full lockers for every single student. Sucks how freshmen only get a tiny box. They should replace the portables with a brand new building for lockers or classes. Overall, I'm happy I went to this high school. I made unforgettable memories here. I met some amazing people and made friendships that lasted. Last year, I even went to my best friend's wedding. She was the first friend I made at WHS. I definitely recommend this high school. The open campus lunches are amazing.

My experience wasn't bad at all. Teachers weren't too bad and other students were friendly. The…read moreonly problem was with one of the assistant principals Dr. Donohue . I'm glad to finally be vocal about how she treats students now cuz someone needs to say something. She's rude, doesn't treat students like people, and is abusive. She will use any chance to take advantage of you. She doesn't do anything when you need help except maybe blame you and make you feel guilty. Like imagine being that miserable frrr. Someone get her out of this school district nowwwww

Seems to me like the main issue that everyone is that concerned about is the office staff. They…read moreblatantly make the children they're directing their attention to feel like a problem or issue. The office staff prominently make it very hard to understand instructions and expect you to know everything the first time you're directed to do something. Another thing is that teachers need to stop letting other students pass inappropriate jokes or offensive speech just because it entertains them. Also, experiences with the counselors would feel different than you'd typically imagine it, regarding the way they perceive your problem or feelings. Not sure on how the counselors helped other students but it probably varies, I did not receive any help at all myself. Lastly, this is difficult to improve, but the lunch line situation is always horrible, no matter what they integrate. Hearing things you don't want to hear is still verbal harassment if it makes you uncomfortable. Minor roughhousing is pretty odd but people would do it in private. Next year is my final year here and I'd hope for it to be more pleasant than the last two. I'm sure there's many other issues but I don't have any coming to mind at the moment. It feels empty in the morning and quite pathetic on special event days.

My child started at this school in November of 2024...when we dropped her off for her first day, we…read morewere introduced by one of the lady staff in the office. By how she looked at us, I see that we were being judged. A couple weeks goes by and our child is telling us that some of the staffs were talking to her as if she wasn't a human being. She'll come home, tell us about how they would say things that made me uncomfortable. Example: her presence was irritating them. I went up to the school one morning and told all the staffs and including the assistant principal that they better stop talking crazy to my child. Cause at home my children are disciplined. (Yes they get yelled at or talked to for their actions). There's so many times I've had to go up to the school to put these staffs in check. Wrong mama. My child doesn't like confrontations. If she feels like she's being disrespected, she's gonna let me know. There's a female (P.E) staff there that tried to twist my daughter's word when we had set a meeting up. I wanted to know what happened. There was an incident that took place with another student. This staff was a "mediator". As we were in the room, I let my daughter speak, the lady staff tried to interrupt my daughter. I told her to let my child speak. I didn't like the fact that she tried to justify what she told me and then tell my daughter different. What I won't allow is for an adult to interrupt my child when she is advocating for herself while l'm in her presence. There are a few staff that I've grown to like. If I had the chance to pull my child out and do homeschool, I would. We send our children to school to these staff(s) to teach and watch over them. Not for them to treat our children like sh!t. I don't have a problem going up to the school and give them my 2 cents. They need to work better on their attitudes... cause it stinks like sewage water.

I hated this place. It is one of the worst schools I have ever been to in my life. The counselors…read moreare very unhelpful, and they won't even spend 5-10 minutes to help a student with the college application pathways, enrolling in CC classes, and what not. Their system has heavy restrictions on who can take what classes; the teachers there are incredibly tough, and some are to the core, rude. Horrible infrastructure there as well, and the school lunch is so trash. I went here for 9th and 10th grade, and I did not like a single bit of my time there. The assistant principal back then (Mrs. Pelayo and Mrs. Sharma are very tough and rude). Some of the students here are mean, and they clown you. If you are considering moving to Fremont, please avoid going to this high school. Please go to Washington, Irvington, or James Logan (Union City).

This place is the absolute worst. I graduated from here and I came to visit my teachers who were…read morevery kind to me and the obnoxious admins ANGIE and BELINDA did not let me enter the campus. I was told by the front office that I can visit school after it ended so that's exactly when I came. Not only did they not allow me to enter but they were extremely rude and said that my teachers don't wanna see me on a Friday evening. They also said I have no right to come back here. As alumni I have every right to do so. They also made my friend have a panic attack. This is unacceptable behaviour from high school staff who should be looking out for the children. For the sake of everyone's wellbeing they should be fired!

I loved the school. It gave me the high-paying job that I otherwise wouldn't have had today. It was…read morethe first school I went to where I realized that coasting on pure talent wasn't enough (and I had plenty of that, but I only need to watch how my cousins were doing in school to figure out much of a difference the environment makes). If it weren't for the sheer amount of peer pressure to do well and excel, I would have never bothered to work hard to excel and would probably be competing with high school graduates for burger-flipping jobs. I learned a really important concept while in high school: academic learning is an abstraction for success. While other reviewers complain that the narrow focus on academic excellence was technically useless, it prepared me to minimize-maximize my priorities for success. By re-abstracting the real, working world as a bunch of test-taking and BSing, it's helped me on my race towards the top. Mission is a great example of a Tiger Mother school, and I'd say that beating the excellence out of me worked wonders. It's a trial by fire, and I've suffered more than my share of breakdowns during my low points here, but overall, no pressure, no diamonds (Thanks Mr. Greene for the quote). If I weren't here, I'd just be dinosaur poop. Highlights: -Academic Challenge club (Without it, I would never be indirectly mentioned in the #National_Olympiads section in the Mission San Jose High School wiki) -Teachers: Chaney-Aiello, Geers, Geschke, Lindsey, Greene, Richards, Jaeger, Ishimine, especially Payette and Howell, you have all been the best teachers I know. Hopefully one day I will be able to pass on the light that you all have passed onto me. -Peers. I'm not going to name names, but without people to chase, I would never have started running in the first place. Let's keep trying to outcompete each in greatness in the years to come. I love a good race.

I really regret enrolling my child in this school. Before my child started. I heard so many…read morepeople say how good the school was and how excellent the students academic results were. But after four years. The reality has shown me, some teachers at this school did not give the child the support or the best possible experience. I won't know whether the principle behind teaching is supposed to be helpming students succeed. Or whather the teacher was simploy targeting the child and intentionally trying to make things as difficult as possible for them.

Ever since my children began school, my husband and I have always had Fremont Christian in the back…read moreof our minds as we love that the school teaches the bible, which is very important to us. Additionally, we know how great of a school FCS is since my husband is a FCS Alumni and I was a substitute Teacher at the school for a year a while back. We thought that we would give public school a try, to save some money, and if we didn't like it or it didn't work out for our kids, we would re-evaluate our options.  This year when schools transitioned to distanced learning, due to COVID, our worlds were turned upside down, along with the rest of the world.  Our kids were struggling not being in the classroom and not being able to socialize with children their age, so when we heard that FCS was bringing back kids safely on campus we jumped on the opportunity to transfer them and have never once regretted that decision!  The Teachers, Principal and Staff at FCS have been AMAZING to say the least.  When we drove on campus to drop the kids off to school on their "first day" we immediately felt that our kids would be well taken care of, which was not a confident feeling for us at our previous school. The organization, care and seamless process to get the kids safely on and off of campus puts our minds at ease.  The Teachers do a wonderful job with communication and my kids immediately loved their new school and look forward to Chapel every week, which was also not an option at our previous school.  We appreciate and love our new FCS home and are so glad we transferred our kids to this school when we did. Thank you FCS!

I went to this school 35 years ago, and I still remember it! I remember the young boy who came into…read moreclass late every day after lunch/recess puffy faced and crying. And, I remember the shame, humiliation, and fear I felt as a sweet 5 year old who got sent to the principals office for a spanking because I pulled tiny leaves and twigs off a bush and lose on the floor to make a little nest for birdies. I still remember the girl who told on me for this "offense" and how I had to remain standing when the whole yard, maybe 100 kids sat down, after the yard duty blew her whistle to signal someone's (me) in trouble. Making me stand amongst all the sitting kids was to shame and humiliate me. I then remember a couple of teachers asking me how I would feel if someone plucked my limbs off as I did to the poor bushes. They then shuttled me to the principals office in which I had to stand in line of maybe 5 other kids who were before me to face the principal. Then, I saw the boy who showed up late puffy faced and teary eyed every day after lunch/recess, leave the principals office after obviously enduring some sort of physical punishment by the person in charge of this institution. Then it was my turn to enter into the principals office. I was alone with this person. I was shaking. This person pulled out the paddle that she must have used thousands of time before day after day after day. She told me if I ever break the limbs off another one of gods creation's again that I would be paddled, as she smacked it against her hand. I remember leaving the office and seeing my neighbor, also a teacher, who said hello to me. I avoided her for the rest of my time living in our home as I was worried she would share what I had done with my mom. Then every day since then, seeing the same boy who came late to class after lunch/recess every day hurt my heart so badly as I knew he was being beaten by a paddle every day. This is all I remember from my thankfully only one year at this place. I'm sure it's changed since then but wow what an awful mark it left on me and I'm sure so many others, especially that poor boy.
