Pine Forest has it's ups and downs but mostly downs because of their students. The students here at Pine Forest have little to no manners, no respect, and no decency for their fellow class mates. The amount of fights at Pine Forest should have the school under new management or shutdown but it also has its good moments with the sports and extra curricular activities for example art, NJROTC, Photography, Yearbook, and Culinary to keep the kids active in things and the school fun.

Overall Pine Forest is a really good high school to go to. The teachers will create close relationships with you, they help you with assignments that you need and are always there for you. The sports are very good as well, our football team is undefeated, and almost all of the football players have gotten offers we have also went to state and national for football.

This school was really a car crash. The teachers complained about it personally, and half of my teachers literally did nothing the whole year. there was no ambition because the coursework was unevenly distributed. I had whole periods where the teacher was given a course they didnt really care about...

Over all this school has gotten very strict and they cant even control the kids. Theres a fight almost every week and you cant even walk outside to eat lunch. If possible i would rate 0/5 stars or even negative stars! I was on my phone trying to tell my parents we might have another code yellow lock...
