I think if I were to need one thing to change at Fossil, it would be a harsher crack down on the academics in the school system. As a student, it can be fun to have things passed for no reason, but looking back, I wish someone had held me accountable more, and there were harsher punishments for not doing the required work.

Fossil Ridge High School has been one of the best academic experiences of my lifetime. I've been fortunate enough to have fantastic teachers who are passionate about their subjects, and are committed to making sure you are doing well. The career opportunities and college opportunities provided through Fossil have given me a head start on life and helped me decide what I want to do.

There are many things that go into how I rank this school. First, I just moved here and while the students are nice, they aren't very inclusive. Second, the teachers are very kind and helpful and I truly believe that they care about each student. Third, the culture as a whole is very diverse and everyone participates at this school which I feel is very important. So, as much as I do think that this school has a lot to work on to destroy cliques and to run a bit more smoothly, they also do very well with the students and they participate.

One of my sons is a graduate of Fossil Ridge, and one is a current student. We have had an overwhelmingly positive experience. The teachers are well-educated and demonstrate a deep commitment to the growth of all of their students. Not only are there 26 AP courses, but there are also many concurrent...

Not a student, but before the game I listened to this speech about dignity and much more, only to listen to a bunch of overpriveleged white kids taunt players during the game..and wow, your refs said not a mumbling word.* Glad to see you'll are teaching them that they will reap what they sow

This school was a terrible experience for me. While I attended this school I was horrendously bullied. I could not walk down a hall without being harassed because of the way that I looked. The forms of harassment I faced were horrible. Every day I was called transphobic slurs, people would threaten...
