My experience at Forest Hills Junior/Senior High was really good overall. I felt that everybody at the school wanted you to graduate and succeed. They really got you ready for college because of the classes that you were able to take and you were able to actually learn in them. One thing that I would like to change is nothing because I feel like the school is really good overall.

I hate this place so much I wish I could switch schools every day. The administration is a joke they do nothing to prepare us for our futures and expect us to know how to do everything without any explanation. The staff also is terrible with students who are being bullied or harassed they say it's all he said she said no matter what and i have seen this second hand. The teachers don't help and treat us like idiots.

My overall experience at Forest Hills was a pleasant one. You meet all sorts of people, and make many good friends because everyone works together to support each other throughout the years of attendance. The teachers and staff are very kind and are always willing to help you, even if they don't know much about the topic.
