Honestly, this school has improved a lot since my mother (40 years plus) has gone here. This school receives a lot of bad press because of what the scores were years ago but I know for a fact if you participate, volunteer, get involved and assist with your child at home that your child too will be a light in any school that takes the time to teach child with care, compassion and patience. This school has improved during the year my child attended and I wouldn't trade that experience for nothing in the world. Like all schools there are down falls, the only issue I would like to be addressed in this school are incidents that occur with bystanders, keeping the gate closed to the playground area and notices about any changes that were made during the course of the school year.

Forrest Road Elementary is absolutely terrible!! The teachers and staff, for the most part, are great. The curriculum however is beyond lacking and behind compared to other schools. We moved here about a year ago when my daughter was in 3rd grade. Her teacher at Forrest Road was amazing! The schoolwork and homework however was what she learned in 1st grade!! CRCT is another joke! Forrest Road ranks horribly in State Testing and my daughter's class last year, scored terribly on it! I strongly recommend not having an advanced student go here since it sets them back as it has my daughter! The work does not challenge them and sets them up for failure!

Forrest red is a great school. The staff members are always willing to help and go the extra mile. They have just got a new principal who is wonderful, she is always open to new ideas and introducing our children to new adventures in learning.
