Fremont High School

If your child has a learning disability, this school is not a good choice. They do not have a good special ed program for kid with disabilities in the high school. They have some teachers who are willing to go the extra mile before, after school and during lunch to help kids who struggle, but if they had a sucessful program to begin with this would not be necessary. I can not recommend this school for kids with Learning Disabilities. Kids who have problems are also bullied really badly. The school is now starting to listen to us parents trying to fix the problem.

Still do not have a good program for kids with learning disabilities. I'm pulling my kid out for the summer and putting them in another school district for summer school. Fremont doesn't have summer school.

As far as kids with special needs...Fremont Public Schools is trying to to make changes, but they are still not up to par. They need a program tailored to kids with learning disabilities that will provide more one on one learning and still allow the child to receive a high school diploma. Many of the kids can do it they just need more help. I would not recommend FPS if your child has a learning disability...the bodies are just not available for the support. They have very good intensions and teachers that are willing...but that's about as far as it goes. I had to hire private tutors to get my kids through. It shouldn't be that way.

Fremont is a small town and gossip spreads fast. Fremont also has alot of school spirt, and the teachers are pretty cool. You choose your classes and teachers so you can find a teacher that teaches the way that matches your learning abilities most. We also have a new principal this year, and he does a great job, he does alot to make students care and participate more. But overall its a good school

I absolutely despise Fremont High School. The classes are challenging to a very good level, but I would be more concerned about how you are treated by other people within the school. This school is all about what you're name is how much money your family has and if you're not someone important, u dont matter to them. When you have a problem with someone(something major) they dont care, if they dont see it, nothing happens. which is why Im transferring to another school in the district, the only thing anyone cares about is your social status, not how well you do in your academics. This is the worst school that I have EVER attended you would be making a HUGE mistake by attending this school

I moved back up here from N. Carolina after I had children so that they could be schooled in Fremont. This is a very good school and one that I would recommend to anyone. The band is excellent along with the other music programs, it is now on the Trimester terms and big in sports. It really does not matter what your name is, what matters is how the child applies him/herself and how the parents get involved. I give this school an A+.

It is in my opinion that this school district is horrible. It is ran by a group that appears to only reward those who have well known and respected last names and those who are children of board members. Regardless of a child's capability, the district seems to regards only the status of the his/her parents. Anyone considering bringing up a child in Fremont must keep this in mind.

The visual arts program is quite amazing, and the largest darkroom on the west side of Michigan. Acedemically, this school prepares students on an average basis. The teachers are most times well prepared and have moderate expectations for students. The band is the best in the county, the choir as well, the orchastra has a fabulous reputation. Atheletics are a huge part of Fremont and they are overal rather good. If living in Newaygo County, this is by far the school I would recommend.
