The best part about my school is the school spirit the students have for the school. The worst part about the school would be the food choices in the cafeteria. The thing I would like to see change most is more staff support for the students at sporting events and more assistance helping students prepare for college.

The school lacks help with coaches & coaching. The staff didn't & isn't known for reaching out & going hard for upcoming graduates looking to go to college like other local schools. The PTO support leans to a particular group. My overall experience was just to not give up on myself or my mom.

I have had a good experience at this school. Though in my 3 years attending I felt as if the other students were hard to communicate with but that could have just been me. The teachers were pretty good for the most part. Some were excellent and other were lack luster. It did feel like the administration didn't exactly care about the students. Especially is the last year as it now definitely feels like they just care about school stats. The food isn't very good. After school clubs exist but there very few if not none at all going on at a time. I didn't play sports but I seems the sports programs are pretty good. The school is relatively new having been built a little over 20 years ago so it look nice inside. The safety is ok. We had a few big scares but I'm guessing that the reality in America now. All in all I thinks it's just an average public high school.

I've recently became an alumni of this school and let me just say, that school has a lot of issues that needs to be fixed. There are more teachers who only teaches you how to memorize than teaches who actually want to succeed. It's overcrowded and the tardy rule, giving you ISS if you are tardy like...

We moved to this district from out of state. As parents, we were nervous for the transition for our child. The staff and teachers took him under their wings. His teachers have been amazing. He loves the school, teachers and his fellow students. We could not be happier with the education opportunitie...

I am a grandparent, and former busdriver-in different states-for schools, city,and state developmental group. My concern for Forestview is the transportation. Afternoon bus is always 30 -45 minutes late after dismissal at 3 p.m. to return the students home. This trend is just NOT accdeptable. It wou...

The academics are great! Even in the regular (not honors or AP) classes you learn so much! I was put in regular civics by mistake and passed the EOC in the 98th percentile. It wasn't a hard class, but the teacher made learning the material interesting. My biggest complaint right now is the choral pr...
