I graduated last year 2024. But, i did not really experince much because i transfered from Bowie high around the middle of my 12th grade year and i didn't really get to experience alot. But, i would like to see more diversity in the school though.

I feel that Frederick Douglass High School has helped me a lot as far as time management and staying on top of my studies. I feel that the school should do more to help with the mental health of their students and not just shoving assignment at us.

The best part of my high school experience was the clubs. They allowed you to be yourself without judgment. I was able to lead and develop positive peer relationships . The worse part of my high school experience was school safety. Too many fights and threats of violence.
