GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Forsan is a good school to prepare you for entering college. The teachers are great and adequately teach their material, there is a great athletic program with good coaches to train students, and the extracurriculars like UIL and band are good. The school has passionate people who love to teach and love their students.

Forsan ISD is a great school when it comes to academic resources and education. They do great at setting you up for college and offer dual credit classes. Forsan also offers UIL events and the school fully supports all students who participate in academic challenges. The best part of being s student at Forsan ISD is the support from teachers and faculty during sports games, and academic meets. one of the worst parts of Forsan ISD is the diversity is limited and there is a biased opinion being used in school sports. one thing I would like to change is that teachers become more open to giving students better opportunities in sports, for coaches having biased opinions on who can and can't play can cause a negative affect on students relationship.

I have really enjoyed my years at Forsan. I started here my 6th grade year and I am now a senior here. This is a very small school, but that is one of the things that I love about it. The atmosphere of Forsan is unmatched. The smallness of the school allows for each and every student to have a lot more attention from the teachers. My teachers have always done everything in their power to help me learn and understand what is needed to know. They are all great teachers, in and out of the classroom. Many teachers were there to support us in everything we did. Forsan High School has treated me great and I will always cherish the time I have gotten to spend here.

We will be relocating in the future and I am researching schools, trying to find one that has the same wonderful qualities as FISD, with little luck. We have...

There are a lot of hidden problems in this school. Even though it has some great qualities, it also has some great problems. The children are taught the same old way that children were taught years ago, even though there are new educational ideas in the world. The teachers are very social and spend...
