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.

As someone who is in a travel program and attends Colonial Forge, as well as another High School in Stafford county simultaneously, I can say that Colonial Forge has some great teachers who are very passionate about their subjects, as well as nice facilities and resources. I've also have had a positive experience with my school counselor and admins. I would like to see more funding for the music program at Forge, especially the Orchestra, which I'm a part of.

My favorite experiences are the camaraderie's between students teachers and faculty. My least favorite experiences are that the faculty rarely deal with fights or issues until later than necessary. Upon the management of the issue, it is often too late.

Colonial Forge made me feel welcomed being a transient student due to military moves. They caught me up to standards and assisted with courses and SOLs missed. I immediately joined the Lacrosse team and felt a part of the family. The school is rather large and could use more counselors for one on one support in planning after high school.
