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.

Forsyth Academy was in general a great school for me, I always felt safe and was overall very happy with the school. There were it's ups and downs like having a few bad teachers but even they tried they're best when it came to teaching us. My brother sometimes needed help and sometimes had issues trying to get additional help but was eventually given the help required and did well in school. Administration wasn't the best sometimes having a little attiyude but everyone wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.

They couldn't afford our 5th grade field trip, so they decided to make an excuse as to why we can't go. The only reason I'm giving this a 3 star rating is be...
