The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would say the best parts of being a student at American High School for three years now (I have been attending since freshman year) are its ASB/student government, the events held around campus, the clubs and student organizations started within the school, and the teachers and faculty who strive to provide only the best for their students. I would not say that the safety of the school is the worst; thankfully, I noticed that it has improved across the years.

The institute is like a small family. Teachers teach with their heart, and don't make their students feel like lost case. I was in another high school, and that high school didn't help me. But American Legion is helping me earned my credits back, make small achievements, but overall they don't make me feel like a lost case and make me feel that I still have an opportunity to fix my life and be someone in life.

This school really sucks. This school is too competitive and wants to be Mission San Jose really badly. Fremont culture nowadays is prioritizing education over the wellbeing of us students. Do not let the test scores fool you, kids are miserable here. You cannot succeed here unless you are wealthy a...
