Fruitvale Junior High School

This school choose to oppress their students creativity instead of raising them up for their accomplishments. This school uses a system that teaches children to hide what displease authorities, they are forced to hid their personalities to avoid trouble, this school overlooks children passions and requests just to satisfy other children's parents and the school board. This school is NOT a healthy growing environment for our children and I fear the lives and future they are being molded into.

I think the school is fantastic! My daughter came in as a 7th grader with a 504 plan and the staff was on top of it. If something needed to be adjusted it could be. The principal was eager to help and provided great insight and support. My daughter thrived and was very successful at FJH I have nothing but praise for this school and the staff.

The leadership and administration at this school is terrible! The staff are both unfriendly and uncooperative. The leadership is disorganized and, of all things, ditzy. If your student is even slightly out of the mainstream, there will be nothing but heartache for you here. Getting the school to conduct mandated student evaluations required that I threaten lawsuit. To top it all off, my child was bullied and the discussions with the counselor and vice principal regarding it were asinine. These people are politicians, not educators, and 3rd rate politicians at that. Thank goodness for the bulk of quality teachers who make this school their calling, and also for the other parents who have fought this school and gave me pointers.
