Firelands is an amazing school for academics. As a sophomore I have already taken 4 college classes and have had lots of support from teachers and administrators. Firelands is very safe, however the diversity is very bad.

A great small community school that really cares about you and your education. Small class size and teacher student ratios. The athletics are amazing. I played football, baseball, and Wrestled all four years. Classes are small enough to get the extra added attention to your education. The academics are stellar. You will be ready to attend any college prepped and prepared for what is to come.

He came in as a very quiet, painfully shy kid with some issues all but one teacher really worked hard to understand. Now, he's a senior, president of the band, and so ready for the real world.
