GreatSchools Rating
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.

Teachers genuinely care for students intellectual and emotional well-being. The small class sizes have been a chance to thrive and grow in such a supportive environment. I have loved being in a diverse community with driven, goal-oriented peers which have shaped my drive as well. An amazing opportunity to get college credits which should be fully taken advantage of.

I love the tight-knit community, and I love being able to have a connection with all of my teachers. The staff truly wants the best for us students and I feel so supported and cared for. The only problem I have encountered is FTCC's inability to support certain accommodations due to most resources being fully online. I have communicated with the accessibility office, and they have been unable to meet the necessary accommodations.

I loved my experience at the Early College of Forsyth. This school helps you step out into the world of college, while providing excellent programs to be able to make each student reach an associate degree while they get their high school diploma. This school teaches student how to manage themselves and be more self sufficient. This school also features great staff, who are amazing and friendly, who are always there to help.

I recently shadowed a student there to see if this would be a possible choice for me, and WOW was I impressed! The feeling of freedom was overwhelming, in a good sense! You still work hard here, but it sure is worth it!
