Green Forest High School is where I have went to school all my life. It is a very safe community, worrying about your safety is not something that is common. If I could change something about my school is, the resources. We have the basic clubs at our school such as FBLA and FFA. But we do not have a lot of outside clubs.

I loved how the teachers were about a year ago when they taught us something, unlike teachers that are here now. It is overall a good place to go to school in my opinion. The bad things is that this school doesn't take action in serious situations. Also, the teachers that are here now aren't passionate about teaching as our other teacher has been. The good thing is that the police officers on campus are nice to the students and are friendly.

Not LGBTQ+ friendly. Very sheltered community. green forest is so small everyone knows everything and will knit pick at your imperfections. its gotten so bad we had a sophomore kill himself recently. the sports teams loose almost every game. however, the band and choir programs are strong. both have people that have gone to all region and all state. some multiple times. the band participates in parades, performs at games, and have won lots of awards including getting to state marching assessments. the choirs also go to competitions and also perform well.
