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.

Overall, I felt as though Forest Hill gave a all out great experience, One thing I wish to change about this school is the concept, I hope this school could provide more resources to help their scholars with their future out of this school.

During my 4 years at Forest Hill, I experienced a lot. The school itself holds many academic students. It's the media that needs to see these students' potential. I like how the teachers would work hard to make sure you're passing their class. I just hope to receive more certified teachers to come to this school.

My experience throughout the last three years at Forest Hill has been a challenging task. There are many areas that are in need of improvement at Forest Hill. Academic wise, many scholars that attend this school will receive the knowledge intended for success.
