My experience as a student in Fillmore High School has been really good. What i loved about this school was the staff of the school consist of great people and the access we have to modern technology like every student having their own personal computers. But the thing I didn't enjoy about the school was the food they serve us at lunch the food they serve us is bland dry and cheap the only day out of the week that I lunch is when they serve pizza but I would like to see a change in the quality of the food the school serves to the students.

I would like to see more educators involved in helping the students improve on there grades and test scores. A helping hand on students that really needs it, is a must. For the most part, No pre-teen/teenager should feel like his or her subjects like Math, English, and science are hard to understand...
