This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
12/8/2025
I've been attending this school since 1st grade and absolutely love it. All of the teachers genuinely love what they do, and the teacher-to-student ratio is great. I do wish that they had more sports/clubs to join, but since it's such a small school it's hard to do something like that.
9/8/2024
I went from first grade until my sophomore year of high school, its a school that requires a lot of support from parents especially if you are attending the "block class" program. I was in PACE and then Global Studies before it was shut down. Don't be afraid to ask questions often.
2/10/2022
it is like a college prep school. I like the flexibility of the schedule to pursue other things or work.

Forest Charter School does a great job of customizing learning for students as individuals. FCS Truckee treats students with respect and courtesy and actively guide students in becoming stewards of and for their community.
