My overall experience of going to Forest Hill high school was challenging but I made it through. Forest Hill is not the prefect school. At some times it can get rowdy but the teacher always try there best to teach anyway.

Dealing with the records and registrar is like pulling teeth. I was transferred so many times and no one bothered to stop and think if they could help. The staff is so incompetent I am dumbfounded.

The counselors half of the time are on break talking and not taking students seriously. I do not see why they have a job. They do not counsel children unless they are in very bad...
