My experience at Firebaugh high school has been average. The best part of my high school experience is all the friends I made playing sports. The worst part of my experience was how poor are school is and they are even cutting the IB program out.

Teachers are firebaugh are great when mentioning teachers of 11 and 12 grade however I believe that all teachers may improve in teaching their class, not all but some. Some teachers don't give lectures or interact enough with students which can effect a students learning. Teachers should be be open when teaching class.
