Fergus High school offers a small town experience with little parent involvement. The best part of this high school is the community and individualized learning opportunities. The facilities can be improved

The best part about Fergus High School is the size, all of your students know you by name and personal things about you, like what your interests are. I think that the worst part is that some teachers try to teach their beliefs instead of teach you the subject and let you form your own opinion. I would definitely like to see more elective classes offered.
