Overall Forest High School is an amazing school. Teachers are awesome, the education is good. Everyday I go to Forest High School I learn something new. Most students are very involved. I do wish students met the teachers who put in effort to make school fun but its all a personal choice.

First of all the band is awesome!! Is the best band ever! Mr. Wallace is a great band director. I think this school is the best! It just needs to have a study hall and should wear regular clothes so the students can be happy without uniform!
