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.

Forest is an overall great school, there are so many different clubs students can choose from and a lot of student involvement in the school. I am a part of our school's yearbook committee and our teacher lets us go off of our own creativity. Forest builds upon student's creativity and you don't see this often.

Highschool was something. My school offers good classes but the teachers aren't the best. They don't really know how to teach to Gen Z as i feel we learn differently as a generation. Campus life is okay but boring. Most of the activities we do cater to one group of students. The Football team seems to be the only team that is cared about. The boys get away with anything and walk around as if they own the school. That status is upheld by the staff.

I've had a great academic experience at Forest High School during my 4 years. The administration staff is engaged and involved with students. I feel supported, safe and involved on campus.

Great school. Teachers are available through Email regularly. Staff is a team to keep the kids safe and the officers are always around campus not just sitting in their cars or in their office. Everyone is very friendly.

I love my school, especially the CCAP program introduced by Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Wulff. I think that all the teachers do their best and put the most effort into the school.

I am horrified by the actions of Science teacher Dewie Brewton. If you want him to teach your children animal cruelty, he's your man!
