Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School is where I have learned to become the person I am today. They pushed me to become more independent in my studies and encouraged me to try new things.

As a junior who is currently attending Franklin D. Roosevelt High School I do have to say that our should is very well diverse in both culture and academics studies. As of the school year of 2024 I see that there have been many new class option that has been added these which can be found on their school website. Giving students more choices to pick what electives that they want. Our school this year has also made it possible to have a bathroom on each floors thanks to the help of the student government members and the students in our school who advertise for a change. We also have a variety of clubs options that is offer for everyone. One thing that could be changed in our school however are their electronics for most of them are very old and dirty. Cafeteria food should be improved and made more healthy for students. I see a lot of students who don't eat during lunch for how disgusting the food is.
