My overall experience with Ferriday High was great. Ferriday High is my primary school but I physically attend a school called Concordia Parish Academy which isn't listed as its own school. With attending Concordia Parish Academy I will graduate with my high school degree and also with my associates degree. This is the best part of the program to me because it saves money while keeping you ahead.

I enjoy all four of my years at Ferriday High School. I was a cheerleader at Ferriday High School all four years. I cheer on football and basketball cheerleader squad. My senior year i was the Co-Capital. I would like to change some of my school subjects. The subjects will be more college related courses and subjects reflects on more real life getting me ready for the real world. I will be able to adapt to life and what it got to offer me in the future.

Well, being a student from this school, I am a very keen primary source to this review. Ferriday High School is a school I like unother. Though it may have the so called reputation of being a "troubling school" it is actually great with its incredible teachers, amazing diversity, and holds a strong reputation on it's athletic department.
