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.

It was very easy to assimilate due to the help of the teachers and administrators. Most of the teachers live the subjects they teach and are very passionate as well as deeply caring about their students. The only complaint would be the politics involved with certain students getting what they want over other more deserving students. Overall a great experience, just might need better, less biased supervision

South Forsyth Middle was a great experience. I am very fortunate that the teachers are wonderful and my child had a very valuable experience all 3 years at SFMS. I would recommend this school to anyone thinking about moving to Forsyth County.
