The best part of North Forney High School for me is their Fine Arts Department. Specifically, Theatre. Everyone in that community is like one unit, a family. They created a sense of belonging. The worst part would be behavior and overcrowding. I would like to see some of the teachers change because I feel like some of them don't care about the students.

Overall there's teachers willing to help out students and there's a big drive to get students college/military ready. Aside from the teachers, faculty and administrators struggle to connect with students and provide lackluster support and resources.

I'm a cheerleader and a member of the track team. I have great staff who encourages me to be great and a superior support system. My experience at this school has been wonderful.

The administration, unable to manage overcrowding, places low-performing students into Advanced Placement classes simply because there’s no space in regular classes. This creates a disruptive and hostile en...
