It's a good school, but there is issues where when it comes down to being able to accommodate every type of student. When it comes to focus, we can not not put a full eye on sports, arts, and sciences. There definitely needs to be a line where they can cross and come together. That will better the school

Fitch high school is a school I know I won't forget about. The school is well diverted but the school is always in chaos. The academics are alright, not the best but does get the work done. the best parts are the after school activity and games that go on. the worst things are some students and staff that are extremely rude and don't know how to act. over all I give the school a 4/10.
