I have had a good experience attending Fillmore High School, the teachers i have had at this school have all been great and they all seem to genuinely care about their students. The campus is always kept clean by the amazing janitors. Some of the classrooms in the English and science buildings are outdated, but overall my experience at this school has been good.

The teachers I had were extremely invested in the students success. I have always been told that what matter is the amount of effort you put into your school and studies, because I did everything with maximum amount of effort, I thrived.

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...
