Frenship High School is great and I consider it the best school in Lubbock. My son just graduated there this past May 2021. My son went to LISD schools through the 6th grade. Then I moved him to Frenship. Frenship was the best!!!! Absolutely no problem with bullying. The teachers are great and so are administrators. They really do care about the students and they want the students to do great. Frenship is growing so much that they recently added a 9th grade center, which is a building that only the 9th graders attend. My son was the first group of students to attend the 9th grade center and it was awesome. Frenship is also planning to build a 2nd high school because they are so popular and the demand is really high. They really prepared my son for college and he had lots of friends. Frenship was also extremely understanding when my dad passed away from leukemia in September 2020. I would HIGHLY recommend Frenship to anyone!!!! While my son did go to a great LISD elementary school (Roscoe Wilson), he went to a horrible LISD middle school for 6th grade (Hutchinson), I really wish that I'd sent him to Frenship back in kindergarten. But I got him moved there for 7th grade and while the move to another school was difficult for him at first, he was really glad that he was going to Frenship because it was SO much better than LISD''s Hutchinson Middle School!!!!!!!!

A. Although the academic courses aren't too bad, because FHS is an independent school, its courses don't exactly go into depth. Their language department mainly only hosts Latin, Spanish, and ASL, while the French classes aren't entirely supported. Their marketing classes, social studies courses (like Psychology,) and English courses don't go into much depth.
B. Frenship only really supports traditional sports, so if your child is into football, soccer, volleyball, or track, basketball, they're fine. It would be nice if they had more individual sports teams (like martial arts or other) or lacrosse, but they don't. A yoga class would also be appreciated, but yoga classes are rare (despite their great health benefits.) Although Frenship has a great band, their band instructors are not respected among the students. The band is general, so if you don't want to take Jazz band or Classical band, too bad. It's all or nothing. They have recently included a guitar club, but other than that, there are NO orchestra at FHS or any other instrument instruction. Their clubs are general and don't have any group that focuses on charity. There's the typical FFA or JOSA or DECA, but any un-sponsored group isn't popular and doesn't really have a place in the school.
The facilities are pretty good, and the custodians do a good job of keeping the place clean. There are enough bathrooms and enough hallway space to house the 2000 so kids in FHS. Unfortunately, the landscaping of FHS is terrible. (Actually, the landscaping of Lubbock is terrible. But FHS refuses to take care of the land or try to beautify their school at all.) There is only one cafeteria (with your typical terrible cafeteria food.) The school is strict about no off-campus lunch, which has gotten a lot of stress over by students.
The staff will NOT allow you to go outside to get fresh air or eat your lunch during your lunch period, no matter how beautiful the weather may be. They set up cameras, so the school should be able to trust us, but they don't.
FHS rules are typical of West Texas...sexist. They have strict rules of piercings and hair on guys. There are rules against unnatural hair colors. Facial piercings are not tolerated, which is disappointing. It is understandable that tattoos should be under clothes, chains should be kept short, and shorts and skirts shouldn't be too short.
Being a public school, FHS is disappointing. The teachers shouldn't be including religion and religious opinions into their discussions and daily lessons, but they do. Some even slip up about their racist view points or anti-gay feelings. (Though not all staff are like this.) Frenship really needs to work on this.
There has been talk of unfair treatment that the FHS principal gives to her daughter. (Like the use of texting each other during class or allowing off-campus lunch.) The moral of students against their principal, Ms. Spicer, is low.
The cops aren't as useful as they could be.
Parents typically only are involved in the school if their child is part of a sport or part of a JV or Varsity cheerleading or Pom squad. Most other parents don't interact with the school regularly.
