My experience at Friendly High School was definitely a roller coaster. I didnt have a sophomore year and didnt even get to finish my freshmen year due to Covid 19. Junior & Senior year was pretty good. I also ran track throughout the 4 years.

While majority of staff highlight the negative aspects of the school, there are a handful who genuinely care. In my past two years of attendance, I have found a few individuals who are advocates for my future success. However, there is a new principal this year and he seems to have made improvements to the environment.

I've never had I problem with Friendly High School I was on the marching band from freshman to Senior year and was a track athlete and a baseball player. As much activities Friendly had that I was associated with, I had always enjoyed my experience there.

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.

I was a former student and graduated not that long ago. This school really deserved the ratings it receives. If you look at the reviews posted by the students, you can see how well they are being taught. This school does not have a lot of math and science classes. So if you want a school that reinfo...
