At Frazier High School, students attend school under the block sheduling method. This format allows students to have only 4 classes per day. They remain in these specific classes for a whole semester, or 2 nine week grading periods.

One affect of the whole-semester classes are the abundance of tests. Every nine weeks, the students have a major test. After the first nine weeks, there are midterms and then at the end of the following nine weeks, there is a final. Depending on the student, this can either help the student or hurt them. The midterms and finals are worth 15% of the class grade.

A day at Frazier consists of the following: the late bell for first period rings at 7:32am; second period starts at 9:07am; next there is Activity Period. In Activity period, students have lunch one half and homeroom the other half. This time period is useful for clubs and organizations because it gives them a time to have meetings or practices. Next, is third period, which begins at 11:49am. Lastly, is fourth period which begins at 1:21pm. The end of the day finally comes as the bell rings at 2:50pm.

Most Frazier Students seem to prefer the block scheduling. They can't seem to imagine having 8 or 9 classes a day. They can't imagine having twice as much homework! Having 4 classes makes the day go by quickly. On the negative side, missing 1 day is almost equal to missing 2 days. Since there are 85 minutes compared to 45 minutes, teachers have to teach twice as much each day to get finished by the end of the semester. Block scheduling, along with many other things, has its benefits and downfalls.
