On May 16th, My 10 year old daughter was assaulted by a boy who pushed her down to the ground 4 times and ripped her shirt. 3 of those times she was attempting to “run away” from him and he ripped her shirt when he tried to fling her around by her shirt. Forest Elementary then proceeded to put my daughter and this boy back into their classroom together for the rest of the day. Forest Elementary doesn’t protect your kids rather they put your child back into a room with their abuser.

This school and district is the worst around. The administration doesn't care about children succeeding. They are driving the district into the ground and need to be replaced. Forest's principal and head staff are just as bad. Our children hate going to school, they can't get the assistance that is needed even on an IEP. They have Friday Fun day which is just a nicer way of segregating, discriminating and public shamming students that aren't "good". They do not get to participate in the fun activates, the "Bad" students get to go into other rooms and do school work. Overall our experience was horrific, our children hate school now due to the horrible experience's that we have had at this location. We are going to enroll our children into a school that cares and can control their children and have staff that actually care. I would highly recommend open enrolling your children to a different school or district if you can. Do not start your child's educational experience here. Worse mistake we ever made.

Forest Elementary is a wonderful school. It is a place where diversity is celebrated. Each child is given a chance to spend time with teachers and assistants who work with their needs. My child loved Kindergarten and learned to read simple books, write beautifully and do basic math.PAWS: Positive Attitude, Accept Responsibility, Work Hard, Show Respect. Way to go Wolves!

Very disappointed in Forest Elementary school. Our child attends the school and there are numerous on-going behavior issues that have yet to be properly addressed. Our child as well as other classmates have been physically hit and kicked by another kid in class on multiple occasions and yet this child is allowed to remain in the school. Every time we've visited the school to have lunch with our child, the lunch room has been in complete chaos with kids throwing hats, standing on chairs and tables, etc. Forest desperately needs better administration and para staff to address the behavior issues.
