I liked how if you were ever struggling with something in school or outside of school everyone had at least one teacher they could go to that would always help me them and make sure they were getting what they need.

Forest City High School has a very diverse learning community. I felt like some days the teachers wanted to help me, and some days they pushed me away. I know I don't want my children to go here, because I want them to feel good about their education and going into a positive learning environment.
