I have had a wonderful 4 years at this school, everything has always worked out with my teachers, sports, and clubs. I have enjoyed every minute of it.

I left, homeschool to go back to Forestview high school, because of my struggles with maintaining on my own. Forestview gave me a chance to become more organized, as well as advance in my academic knowledge. Before, I struggled with my grades in homeschool. Now that I am in forest view, my GPA and grades have went up tremendously in just a semester.

I feel like the administrative staff looses focus on the students that are not causing problems. The counselors are very hard to get in touch with and don't give great information on how to obtain information.

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...
