My experience at Friendly High School was overall a 7/10. The academics were pretty decent and the administration was very cool and supportive. The missing 3 in my rating comes from the lack of school spirit.

Please don’t send your child to this school. This school is a playground for the teachers they are rude and act like it’s a problem when ask about your child. This school needs to be replaced with teachers who cares.
