Washington High School

I am sadly very disappointed due to the reasons that it is severely disorganized. As a starting juinor at this school and I’ve stayed year for half of the sophomore year (recently moved from SD halfway through the year) I had asked many of my friends and other students. Most of which said that it is old, boring and its education is far below then what I had perceived. Now I do not speak for the entire staff and teachers of the school. And I have heard there are some excellent teachers. Sadly school has many flaws. One of which is that it is disorganized through teaching and funding. The school provides very little teaching that can be compared to today’s schools. I have to give props though that the students are very friendly and welcoming. The staff is friendly, and so are most of the teacher. I would give it 4 stars however for its physical education and teams (the school is mostly an athletic school) sadly I have to rate it 1 star for education because everything it had taught me, I had already knew.

This review is solely on their football field. This is where my son and his team play flag football every Sunday and I love it. It is synthetic turf and very well up kept. The bathrooms are open and clean. They have plenty of parking and it’s easy to get to from the 880 freeway.

Nice Lookin’ School? What else do you say???
I think this is funny writing a review on a school. But, Unilocal told me too. So… two thumbs up from me. My husband’s little nephew graduated from this school and he seems to be normal and possesses a good amount of knowledge and brightness (if that is even a word? I will have to ask my nephew, he’s the one that graduated. :)
Congrats to all those who make it through high school! May your high school memories keep you smiling into your later years! :)

My daughter goes to Washington High School in Fremont, CA. Which is amazingly amazing since it’s the same name as my high school in Tulsa, OK — except that mine was Booker T. Washington H.S. (who was named after George Washington). Coincidence? I think not.
And… My colors were black and orange — and her colors were black and orange. It’s like we’re living the same life.
But the comparison ends there as my mascot was the Hornet and hers is the Huskies. But originally their’s was a cornhusker and my parents are from Nebraska (corrnhuskers). Coincidence?
But we — digress. Washington H.S. is an amazing high school. It has great school spirit! You can do anything you want there — be a great student, be a loser, be into drama, drop out, do drugs — it’s all up to you as a student.
So far, so good. My daughter is getting an excellent education — just as I did many, many moons ago at a different Washington H.S., in Tulsa, OK.

Just wanted to get something up here about our school since it wasn’t listed yet. Great school, has been in Fremont since 1887, and at its current location since 1923. We have about 2000 students and we were a California Distinguished School in 2009. I think we must have one of the most diverse populations on the planet, and our students know how to get along with each other and make positive contributions to the community. I teach theater at Washington, but I know we have great programs in many areas including a variety of fabulous sports teams and a student leadership program that is phenomenal. The teachers I work with are extremely smart, caring, and student focused. They make it a wonderful place to work and learn. As a parent of two girls (currently 6 and 2), there is no other high school anywhere, public or private, that I would rather they attend. Washington offers the most rounded education possible with high academic standards; a variety of clubs, sports, activities, and events; a diverse student population; a highly qualified and seasoned staff; and all on a beautiful, historic, and safe campus. (Oh, and they have a pretty darn good theater program too, if I do say so myself.)
