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.

I attended Forest Park High School during my freshman and sophomore years, and I found it to be a large, modern school with plenty of high-tech resources. Most of my teachers were kind and respectful, so I look back on my time there fondly. I also appreciated the strong sense of community; I still stay in touch with many of my classmates from those years. I've noticed they've added metal detectors recently, which seems like a good step to ensure safety on campus.

Forest Park has given me many experiences. I am a very successful leader in the JROTC program and inspire people to grow and lead. I was able to go on a trip to Europe that gave me insight into other cultures. I succeeded very well in my academics where I was able to obtain all A's and one B+ for the year.

Forest Park is most obviously not one of the worst high schools out there but it is far from the best. Students here are mostly as rude as the teachers with shoving and pushing always happening in the hallways, eventually leading to severe fights at times. The school got worse every year with my senior year being the most disappointing. I transferred to this school and regret it every time I think about my decision.
