Reviews of James Fowler High School - Calgary Board of Education (School)

David Jacota

I heard of this school of my friend, and she goes here. I say this is a bad school

Abhi Gandhi

Went to this school for a year, easily the worst school I have ever been to. Teachers were not friendly, often saw fights in hallways, and it just had a really bad environment overall!

Laurie H

Hard!

Sarah Turner

It's a pretty bad school. The teachers are nice to you if you are to them, they give you the respect that you give them. Everyone does drugs in the 711 parking lot across the street, dont ask to have a sip of someone's water because it is spiked (or straight alcohol) 70% of the time. Principle is racist and discriminatory. But the only reason worth attending is the art program, and the trades programs. In the arts it prepares you for art colleges (they have a 100% acceptance rate to ACAD), and the trades prepare you for real life. The courses are hard, but that's life. They are built to be tough.

There are more beef then any other school I ever seen that's why I don't like that school

Nina Williams

People will try to tell you that the school has changed over the years but it's not true. This school is good for the extra classes that they offer. But that's about it

Kris Weatherbee

Only high school I have been to so my review must be biased. Felt like I had great teachers and coaches and fellow students when I attended.

Worst school in Calgary, graduated from here and wished I had attended elsewhere. Bullying is a norm and the instructors could care less.

People tell me this high school used to be a prison, their wrong, it still is

Jakob Mayert

Definitely not the worst school I've ever attended the trades and art programs are best in the city by far there are a lot of drugs and stuff they do go around that school and a lot of stoners behind 7-Eleven. It's definitely worth it to go here if you're interested in trades it prepares you really well for the real world and get you ready to go to sait and they have programs that you can get credits in the high school well going to sait

easily one of the worst schools i've ever attended, the teachers suck along with their system and 90% of the student in the school are druggies. the only good thing is their wide range of courses.

JFHS is FANTASTIC and they're currently expanding their ACL facilities too! I've been to eight schools in my short 18-19 years and honestly James Fowlertakes the cake. Amazing staff, lots of options and opportunities, great friends, great programs, and the graduation ceremonies can't be beat. Everybody has their ups-and-downs in HS, obviously. But for the few bad memories I have the good memories tower over them ten-fold. Only downside is that one part where the general hallway meets the English wing, I think they need some traffic lights there! But by far the best school I've ever been too, and the only school I've been to that I can proudly say I attended! ( : Currently on my way to SAIT for Business Management, couldn't have done it without JFHS<3

I'm a Retired Grad. I really enjoyed going to high school here! In 1966-/68 JFHS had a very good Music & Drama department! JFHS Music & Drama departments were chosen to represent AB at Expo 67 in Montreal! I really wish I'd kept in touch with some of my Friends from that time.
