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.

I like that there are small class sizes and teachers get very involved to make sure that you are understanding the material. I would like to see the culture or work ethic of kids at Forest City to change.

We had issues with a coach bulling us and we told the athletic director and instead of anything being dont about it we were the ones who got punished.
