This school is awesome. It offers well-rounded experiences to the students, and ignores none of the student population, unlike some other schools, like Troy.
Before I started high school I heard rumors about Fullerton being a bad school. Then I began my freshman year. I love this school. I am now a junior and love all my classes and teachers. People think that our AP/IB courses are "easier" just because they are Fullerton's AP/IB classes, but if they took a class, they would know they are just as challenging as Sunny Hills or Troys. Don't base your judgements about Fullerton on just what you hear from other people, I'm 100% perfectly glad and proud I attend Fullerton High School.
I am a student at Fullerton High school, and I disagree that the teachers don't help try to raise our test scores. They even wear tee- shirts to encourage students to raise them. IF they see students are failing in classes, some teachers ask the students what they could do to help raise his/her grades and are weilling to change the way they are teaching.
Most teachers DO work with students to improve (get HIGHER) test scores however the student needs to show interest in improving. The teachers are as good as you demand of them, they can be contacted through e-mail or by phone by YOU the parent if you have questions or concerns. Also, there is after school tutoring for students that need extra help. Don't blame the teachers, be a parent and get involved in your child's life!
The faculty at Fullerton is awesome. And yes you need to take an interest in your children and they will respond. This is a very relaxed campus. My daughter loved how the teachers would always acknowledge the students in passing.
I did not like the way that the teachers dont take the time to work with each student and try to get them to get hire test scores
Fullerton Union High School offers a rich academic as well as having three Golden Bell Academies as part of its campus. Students are enthusiastic and spirited. Teachers are excellent and care about their subject matter and their individual students.
Looks like the API scores are in for 2009 and Fullerton improved to 945. Congrats to the hard working teachers and students for making such a giant leap. Looks like the second best improvement in OC!
Fullerton has provided my kids a great education. It offers a well rounded education that prepares both the average and gifted students well with many elective opportunities. It is a safe campus, and offers that hometown feel and history on this beautiful historic campus. There a plenty of high end after school acitivities, including a good sports program, speech and debate, culinary arts, and the performing arts programs.
I'm a student at FUHS and not exactly a straight A one at that. But I love my school and it's an privelage just to go here. Some don't take advantage or really understand how much it has to offer, especially the 5th in the State ranked Speech & Debate team. Being a Title 1 school with a currently standing 732 API (don't yet know the result of this year's CST scores), it's so exhilarating to be apart of the student population. The teachers here are REAL teachers and even with the budget cuts and bigger classes, I believe they try their hardest to make sure each student knows the course inside and out by the time they finish the class. With a little more school spirit, Fullerton High School would be the best school in California.
