4.0 Senior

10/27/2025

I had great experiences with the science department of colonial forge. The worst experience I had was with the English department and some administration, especially the counselors. I would like to see change in the counselors.

7/11/2025

Overall great experience for the one year I was here, only thing I had to deal with was four teachers for one class in one year which tanked my grade

4.0 Junior

4/22/2025

Definitely and well put together school. However administration can be extremely strict and not very concerned about student need. Teachers are way more into student life and caring for student overall well being. Fun sport events and school activities with nice activities and interaction for students to get involved.
