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.

All 4 of my children have attended or are attending Forest Oak Middle. This gem of a school has amazing teachers, a fantastic administration and a thoughtful work environment for the kids and staff. The students are excited, challenged and eager to learn . The school provides the prefect balance for the students, studying mindfulness while having rigorous academic goals.
