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 teachers care about their students and are very helpful. The only downside is they bring politics into their lessons which is distracting

The small teacher to student ratio makes the educational experience very personalized and it gives students the opportunity to succeed. The small number of students also gives everyone the opportunity to participate in athletics.

Foresthill High School is a very calm and good environment when it comes to learning. However it does not have the best security. Students actively carry pocket knives and other items on hand with them around campus. There is also a large vaping and marijuana usage problem on campus.

This is a great school. They have wonderful caring teachers and I know they do everything they can to raise their scores. The problem is that many of the higher achieving kids go down to Placer High where there are more AP classes. Forersthill has about 6 AP classes. Not bad for a school with 230 ki...
