GreatSchools Rating
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.

The school wasn't where I wanted to be at first but it turned point to me a pretty great school. I got pretty comfortable quickly and I ended up never wanting to leave.

I liked that the ratio was very good and teachers knew if you needed help they would come to you personally. I would like to see better food options and more opportunities to run for things such as homecoming without having it already planned out of who would win

My time at North Forrest was amazing. The memories and life lessons I experienced will always stay with me. Most of the teachers there were nice and caring and wanted to see you exceed. I think one thing that the school should do is have more extracurricular activities. I believe this will get the students even more active with the school.

I grew up here. Spent 2nd thru 11th grade. I feel I got a fair education and have fond memories. Plenty of opportunity to participate in extracurriculars. Currently a graduate student in Nursing. I believe I was well prepared for college.
