Great community, a great school experience, and much like the real world. All the schools in the FUHSD are great as I graduated from a FUHSD school myself. Homestead and Fremont offer the most diversity in the district, yet they produce outstanding scores and education.

Homestead doesn't handle students with special needs well. However, the Fremont Union High School District is better equipped and has an excellent program at Fremont HS. Excellent school overall. Just not the best for Special Needs students.
