There are amazing things happening at Forest Park that a lot of people don’t even realize. Transformation of the Forest Park they used to know started when Principal Mouzone took over. She not only challenges the students to do better but she challenges her entire staff, families and the community. She lets us know daily that this change can only continue to occur when as a team work together for the greater good, our students. They are excelling in academics, sports, service to others to become the global citizens we want them to be.

Principal Mouzone is a horrible leader because of her petty unprofessional behavior towards people who works for her.

I’m new to the Forest Park school and am in awe of how much school pride penetrates and oozes throughout the building. The students and staff have all been so welcoming. When you walk through the halls during instruction you can hear a pin drop!!! Awesome school vibes with lots of smiling faces and support! Truly a walk in the Park!

Great Schools needs to actually visit the school and collect their information from the counselors and administrators with correct data. Schools absorb the data of every student enrolled, and if a student has failed prior to enrolling, that negatively affects the school’s graduation rate. FPHS has been the ‘second chance’ school for an exceptional number of students, not successful at other schools. Offering night school and Saturday school, FP has an exceptional recovery rate - despite taking the hit on graduation rates due to transfers that failed prior to enrolling. Since 2013, FPHS has outperformed high schools in their BCPS-assigned cohort, with similar demographics, for multiple years - 87/100 for Learning Environment & College Readiness. Students take offers in 4+ AP courses, improve faster in College Readiness, and accolades for equity. In 2014 FPHS had 1 of 3 only students in Baltimore to earn the coveted Bill Gates Millennium Scholarship, with the other two students coming from Poly. FPHS now hosts a $73 million LEED Silver campus, offers 7+ CTE courses, of which 9th graders are introduced to all CTE courses (including JROTC), to help make an informed CTE choice for 10th grade. Great Schools - do better at eradicating old stigmas, talk to Teachers /staff who’ve been at FPHS for 10+ years, and have true testimony for how far this school continues to progress. Accepting all students, means not turning away the same kids rejected by the top schools in the district, so they keep their high ratings high, and ensuring a positive trajectory for FPHS graduates, for generations to come.

This school is actually way better than I thought it would be when I began in 2006. All of the students are actually in some way or the next bonded positely in vaious positive ways. Rumors always sprew on any topic in society but the best way to really believe the truth is to wittness yourself.Now Iam fully enrolled in Bccc (Baltimore city community college ) I will gain my Assoc. Degree and then trans to a university in Pennsylvania. This was all made easier through help at this high school.
