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 school is very invested in being college ready however it mostly towards who they believe will get into college instead of who wants to go to college.

Great school all-around. Students are motivated to learn and the school has a great culture. As any school, some teachers are more involved and interactive with their students as others are less. The teachers that are involved make this school stand out.

I started going to Forest Park High School in August of 2020 for my virtual freshmen year. Now I'm a senior now and I can confidently say I had my fair share of experiences. I believe throughout my 4 years, a lot has changed and evolved overtime, I met a lot of people old and new and overall created a ton of fond memories in and out of High School. The worst part of the High School and overall the experience would likely be the lack of communication for the upper class man and parents and the new admiration team. Overall from what I've experienced.

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.
