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.

The best part of my experience here in Forest Park High School is being in the band because it's an activity that I enjoy with a friendly community and the worst parts of my experience would have to be the halls and bathrooms smelling like marijuana because of the kids smoking. Some changes I would like to see is cleaner lunch tables when we go into lunch and not just half clean tables. I would also like to see the bathrooms open because they don't always have them open because of kids skipping in there but that can change.

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Forest Park High is an overall great school. The students are mature and the teachers are professional. It is also the most diverse school on the south side.
