It is a school with opportunities to explore interests in various clubs, sports, and musical opportunities. I particularly like the vast amount of volunteering opportunities provided. I could see the grading system and teacher-student interactions improved.

It is a great school with a large, diverse population. The diversity prepares students for the real world. The staff is great, and the honors/ AP level classes are great.

As a senior at Freedom Highschool I don't feel like they prepare you well for college. The school only wants to look good on the outside. On the other hand some of the teachers ar e absolutely wonderful.

Frankly, wonderful. My first two kids have been accepted to very good colleges. They are successful at college in part because of what they learned at Freedom
