Overall, I really like my school. Everyone is so friendly and kind to one another. if you need help, someone will be there to help. There's always someone to talk to. I wish the food were better though. We barely get anything to eat and it is never ever good. They also reuse food sometimes, which is definitely not sanitary. My favorite part of school would have to be there athletics. We are pretty good here at Forest Park, so attending games is always a blast. I love our student body and they are just super fun to be around.

All the teachers at Forest Park are very caring and genuinely want you to learn. If I could change anything with Forest Park, it would others promoting kindness ore throughout the school. I would also change the food. I have a lot of allergies and there are no options for me in the cafeteria.
