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.

Forsyth is a very loving place and the teachers and students are always around to help out other kids. The best experience I had was I needed help on an essay for a big test, I asked on of my teacher to help me on it and she did and I got a 100 on it. The worst part is the food. It isn't very good but they try. This school has great athletics and is willing to work with you on anything.

I moved to Forsyth from Ozark. A huge change on my part, but for the best. Ozark was overwhelmingly big and Forsythe was small and perfect size. The teachers are amazing and help explain things to you easier than any school,.,there food may not be as good as some but it still suffices.
