I transferred from a very small school to Forest Grove Highschool for my junior year of highschool and I've found that the counselors were incredibly helpful and accommodating with me and my 5O4 plan and worked really hard to help me with my medical programs. Almost all of my teachers were fantastic and truly cared about what they were teaching. The students are mostly pretty nice.

Once you really get involved, you notice all the open opportunities that are available to which I have taken advantage of. Not everyone is what you expect but life is like that anywhere so it's good to push through. Overall the school is pretty neutral to my personal experience.

We ended up moving out of the area for a better high school. Do not send your kids to this high schoo...

They have some amazing programs if your student is willing to take advantage of them. The Viking House gives students an opportunity to build a home every year. Our children have had a positive experience there. Like any high school there are issues. If you have students in advanced mathematics, the...
