It hasn't been terrible I feel ready for college but I feel like that is because of the higher level courses I took.

I have attended Forestview High School for the past 4 years and it has been decent. Students have to go through metal detectors every morning before entering the school and wear clear book bags which I think does help with safety. I personally think that Forestview has a very good visual and performing arts program. I took visual art my freshman year and have been a part of the chorus program for all 4 years of high school.

The overall experience of Forestview Highschool is pretty good. There are a lot of teachers that really care for their students and offer a lot of help. The guidance counselors are also very helpful.

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...
