    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 attended this school for both 7th and 8th grade (22-23 and 23-24 school years). It is genuinely…read morethe WORST school I have ever attended. Most of the teachers are either wayyyy too strict, rude and mean, or don't teach properly. I know a lot of people complain about the Pagans but I had Mr. Pagan for eight grade US History and as long as you followed his (kind of ridiculous) rules, the class was pretty interesting (he was really funny at times). His wife was a jerk, though. The administrators and office staff, on the other hand, are a hot mess. They don't care about the kids and there have been several incidents where they've been racist to kids and teachers. I don't really understand why you would choose to work with kids if you don't like them.....? A lot of the teachers had weird rumors about them as well (especially a certain PE teacher). If you have to attend Thornton, good luck. Grit your teeth and get through it. If you're a parent reading this, please support your kid. They're reallyyy gonna need it.

From the very first day, the teachers and staff have created a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate and balances academics with plenty of play-based learning, which has helped our child grow both socially and intellectually. We've seen huge progress and confidence when speaking in front of others. Looking forward to upcoming years.

    The school has a new management this year and they have completely revived the curriculum, it was…read moregreat before but it's so much better now. I feel that my child (6th grade) is getting really good education at almost half of the tuition that some other private schools charge. And the tuition ($1450) covers staying there all day long, i.e. till 5:30pm. Some other private schools charge more but are open till 3:00 only. I personally think it's quite affordable especially considering the fact that even in public schools I was paying around $600 for after school day care and then to supplement the public school education, I was sending my kid to Kumon, another $300. But the quality of education here is so much better than Kumon, the kids are learning things above their normal grade level. All the teachers are really caring and hard-working. The English teacher Ms Sandya works tirelessly and creates custom lessons based on children's level and is really prepping them for future SATs/college essays, etc. The school also has no screen policy except for the computer class which has really been a blessing as doing that is bringing back children's focus in today's screen slaver world. The class sizes are really small right now (less than 5 kids in most classes) but even then my child is really happy going there. So overall we are very satisfied and love the new school.

    This school district takes a punitive and bureaucratic approach to working with the public at the…read moreadministrative level. Lack of due diligence, compliance, follow through and attention to details is evident. Fundamental ethics are lacking, which fosters a lack of public trust. Workers employed by a public school district should not lie and perpetuate hostility through stubbornness and deceptive practices. Lack of accountability and high operating costs, including excessive effort dedicated to cursory tasks should be examined. Policies and procedures should be straightforward and provided in a timely manner. School districts should set a community gold standard in service and excellence. In the event of a lack of governance of such a district, state and/or federal oversight should be compulsory and not elective. From an employment perspective, it appears that jobs for this school district offer very nice pay structure and comprehensive benefits packages, with a lot of latitude for all types of job performance. I believe it must be very difficult to be disciplined or even removed from this type of a job, so for any staff member there are numerous perks to attaching yourself to a job at this District. Since these jobs are public-facing ones, the district, at an organizational level, should have some care for its public image, even if the individual employees are more focused on how the job benefits their own personal needs.

    I'm now in my 30s, but I attended Fremont Christian School from 5th through 12th grade. The best…read moreway I can describe my experience there is that it felt like a living nightmare. Everyday it felt like I was drowning. Looking back, that period of my life was when I first started developing severe anxiety and depression. I was naturally a shy kid but the environment at the school made things significantly worse. I experienced ongoing bullying throughout my time there...not only from classmates but also from teachers and even the school principal (Tricia Meyer) It created an atmosphere where I constantly felt unsafe, unsupported, and isolated. The only reason I remained at the school for so long was because my parents were hesitant to transfer me. By the time they fully understood how serious the situation was, I only had two years left of high school, so I stayed until graduation. Even now, I could write pages about the experiences and the people who contributed to the bullying I endured during those years. From an academic and developmental standpoint, I also do not feel the school prepared me well for life after graduation. When I entered college, I realized how unprepared I was socially and academically compared to peers from other schools. The environment at FCS felt extremely conservative and insulated, almost like living in a bubble. It wasn't until I graduated and left that environment that I felt like I could finally start living my life and growing as a person. One additional observation: the business manager who responds to reviews on Yelp, was actually a student in my class. Given the culture and bullying that existed during our time at the school, it feels somewhat hypocritical to see someone from that same environment representing the school without acknowledging the issues that many of us experienced. Everyone's experience will be different, but based on my time there, I personally would not recommend this school.

    American High School, is the high school I attended because I live in North Fremont, specifically,…read more the Ardenwood area. Students of the following 6 Elementary Schools, Ardenwood, Forest Park, Warwick, Brookvale, Oliveira, & Patterson Elementary attend Thornton Junior High, and then finally they attend American. I started my education career at Ardenwood Elementary, then Thornton, and finally American High. First off even though the spirit of the school is lacking, it is still fun and enjoyable if you make it that way! Spirit Week for the students is one huge celebration each class celebrates for one week where their entire class creates cardboard props and put them inside/around the Rotunda to display them to everyone to see. Every year there's a different theme for each class, such as a different type of television show, board game, Disney theme, etc. During lunch, that week, each class gives a presentation/skit about their theme and try to prove their class is the best and has the most spirit!! One of the other popular events is RUSH Week, which is one week in September when clubs advertise themselves in the Rotunda during lunch. It's a time for you to learn more about all the different clubs on campus and join the ones that interest you. American High has about like 59 various different clubs for you to join. Another event would be Battle of the Boulevards, which is a Football game battle between us Eagles and our rival Huskies! The reason it's called Battle of the Boulevard, is because both American and Washington are located on Fremont Blvd, were both schools are trying to claim Fremont Blvd! (You're probably thinking, but what's so good about Fremont Blvd!? Nothing really, it's just the glory of owning it I suppose.) There are rallies at the school as well where on various Friday's, where after 6th period most of the students tend to go inside the school gymnasium and watch other fellow American High students perform dances, acts, skits, to show off their talent! If your son or daughter does not want to go inside and enjoy the rally, they have another option to stay inside the cafeteria and just hang out there with their friends. There are lots of other main events such as battle of the sexes week where each gender battles against the other in events, Eagle Nation Week, Staff Appreciation Week, International Week, and many more! Now onto the Academic side of American High. American offers many different course offerings for students to take. For Foreign Language, American offers, Mandarin, Spanish, French, and American Sign Language (ASL). Elective courses include, Architecture, Sculpture, Art, Studio Art, Photography, Web Design, Weight Training, Team Sports, Drama, Band, Choir, Guitar, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, Leadership, AVID, Parenting and Family Living, Filipino Heritage Studies, Psychology, Engineering, Law Enforcement & Administration of Justice (ROP), Marketing (ROP), Business Ownership (ROP), Culinary Arts (ROP) and many more! You also have your general courses, for Math, English, History, and of course Science. Overall, It's a pretty good school, lots of the teachers care, and it's just a great school for your student to attend.

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!
