Fossil Ridge is a Great SChool. Many Opportunities for growth and development, and it seems as if there is a place for everyone. Fossil has great sports and a strong academic profile. Every teacher is welcoming and willing to give it there all.

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.

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...
