Fenton is a really good school. Seems to be a positive environment, and nice kids. Our teenager has had a good experience there and has one year left. The teachers are great. The only negative is: the facilities and buildings are old, outdated. Some classrooms smell of mold. But they are doing updates now for STEM.

This school does not help students get ready for anything. All they care about is getting through the school year without an incident. Girls are constantly dress coded and the dress code isn't even followed in terms of being enforced. Teachers are allowed to scream and yell at students and when the students attempt to do something about it the people higher up take the sides of the teachers. The sports teams are terrible and so is the marching band. There are more problems with this school than there are good things.

Excellent. Teachers are always willing to work with you and they care.

Fenton high school is a terrible school overall. With poor national test scores, and with economic, drug, and alcohol problems staining the majority of students deriving from the bensenville area, not much else could go wrong. Poor values are instilled within the majority of Fenton students, such as the general idea of drugs, partying, and sex over the one and only true answer to their economic problems, education. Their may be a few good seeds sprinkled in, but the success of a few Fenton students can not outweigh the failure to be educated and successful of the majority of Fenton students. The most daunting fact of all is the unbelievably incapacitating willingness of the faculty to let this continue to occur. I would know this as a current student.

I recently graduated from Fenton high school. I was so well prepared for college, I actually became a teachers assistant as a freshman at Loyola to help get other students up to speed in math. We had numerous Fenton graduates attend universities such as Northwestern, Stanford, University of Illinois, & Loyola, to name a few. I think the schools overall scores suffer because there is a high percentage of foreign students that are new to the English language. This diversity, however, is excellent in building a students social skills. If your child is driven, he/she will be challenged at Fenton and will be well prepared for college.
