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.

The teachers at North Forsyth Middle proved to be some of the most memorable in my memory, and even now in high school, they rank among my favorite teachers. The teachers were funny, and engaging, and friendly. They never failed to make the students feel special, and they themselves would enhance the educational growth of their students.
