Fenton High School

Fenton High really helped me prep for college, and i think its a great school if a student actually tries in classes, but if a student doesn't really try then they are getting less of an education than they can get out of Fenton High. Overall the School isn't great but its not bad its 'above average'.

I recently graduated from Fenton High School and believe it to be a solid, educational establishment. The teachers are incredibly amiable, relatable, and professional - and there are definitely many efforts being taken to improve the facility and students' progress. The problem arises in that the student body is very blatantly divided into those that are motivated and crave success, and those that just do the bare minimum and will, unfortunately, not really grow up to do anything productive or great. For those willing to put forth the effort and motivation, such as myself, Fenton proves to be a wondrous high school, with myriad clubs and sports, that can ensure one's successes (I, myself, am currently studying at one of the top universities in the country). Unfortunately, those the group that is unmotivated and negative is definitely a significant downfall to the school.

Fenton is a fine school for kids that have their priorities straight before entering high school. They have great teachers, lots of AP classes to choose from. They have academic team ,math team,speech team,sports just like any other school. Many from my graduating class went on to great Universities. But there is also set of student population where education is not the top priority, so definitely not the place for your kids to get their roots.If your kid is focused on learning , they have some caring , dedicated teachers.

The learning environment at Fenton was very flexible, but also strict when it was needed. The Teachers are very professional and can relate to the students. This school has been on a downslide recently and it is a shame because it was a very good school just a few years back.

This school has changed dramatically over the last decade. This school needs to get back to the theory of making the parents resonsible for their childrens progress.

I myself graduated from FHS, and I found that I would have also benefited more if there was more parent involvment. The extra curricular activities that Fenton offers do not work around the transportation issues that many students have i.e. having a ride home after the activity. Over all, Fenton is a great acedemic learning establishment.

I have had four children graduate from Fenton. All had numerous opportunities afforded them in the areas of academics, arts and extra-curricula activities. Fenton is also a member of DAOES, which allows the sudents to pursue vocational interests as well. The facility is clean and well maintained. Many improvements have been made for physical education development, including a fitness center, aerobics gym and a new stadium and football field. The school partners with the park district in the use of its facilities as well. My only 'wish' is for more teacher accountability. I am a strong advocate of parental involvement in the schools, and I feel that the educators should take more of an interest in their students, and communicate with the parents. The school makes very clear its expectations of the students. I, too, have expectations of the teachers. Overall, Fenton will provide an excellent opportunity for secondary schooling.
