The best part of east Forsyth high school is the Friday nights when our football team is playing. The worst part about the school is all of the construction going on in the campus this year and making it less safe with all of the works coming in and out.

My experience at East Forsyth had been nothing but good. I'm a student athlete in which our football team went to the playoffs every year during my 4 years. The teachers are all wailing to help you when you don't understand yo assignment. The counselor had played a big role in helping me with the college process. I feel real safe when I'm at school as well. The SRO is a great person who gets to know all the student and I see him always interacting with students all the time.

Teachers and administrators prioritize safety and student success. It’s a challenge engaging young adults with tedious curriculum, however, high school kids have several opportunities to attend sports or after school activities. I love and depend on the thorough parent/faculty communication. So far,...

My son goes to school there and for the most part it's a good school all except for the lady who works in the office. She's always in the worst mood and her attitude shows it.
