Forreston was a great experience for me. The sense of community that everyone shared was second to none.
4/1/2020
I liked that it was a small school where you could really get to know your teachers. I also liked the sense of community it offered. One think I didn't like was there seems to be a lot of favoritism thee amongst families that have lived there a long time.
