The counselors are a HOT MESS! But overall, the only person in charge of a students education is the student. The student makes it a Good OR a Bad school for them. Students are at an age where they feel they need to compare with others. They don't see it but they take away from those students who are there to really learn. So far all 7 of my children have attended and graduated from FPHS. So if your child goes to school and is disrespectful to teachers and students, get them out of school, put them to work or send them off to the military and let the other kids learn and graduate. We need great minds as our economy is falling, jobs are not being filled, shor staffed everywhere. Let these children learn and graduate. If your child is a problem child, get them the hell out and leave space for those who do want to learn and be someone. Teachers and staff can only do so much with your problematic child. So shoooo fly, cause you are not welcomed at FPHS.

All in all I do not like or dislike the school, of course I attend the school but if I had a choose of changing schools I would most definitely do so. The students themselves are the main thing I really dislike, the like of variety concerns me. No matter what race they are, majority of them are the same person. The wannabe bad boy who says he is in a gang, but is really a foot soldier. These type of students are numerous, at least one student in every class is this type of person.

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Forest Park High is an overall great school. The students are mature and the teachers are professional. It is also the most diverse school on the south side.

Forest Park High School has to be one of the worst schools in the state of Georgia. The administration and staff could care less about the children and their success. Alhough the school is challenged with having kid from low socio-economic backgrounds, little is being done to ensure these kids stay on the right track. Students are suspended for 10 days at a time just to get rid of the problems. If you want your child to get a good education it definitely won't happen at Forest Park High. In fact I wouldn't attend any school in Clayton County except Jonesboro High.

One of the worst school my children have even attended!the main office seems confused and if you have any business to attend to there you will have to wait awhile,my students talks of high pregnancy rates, fights and gangs all the time and although they have a dress code if you visit the school it seems not to be enforced.There are a lot of different cultures in the school but they usually stay with their own kind,sad!The principal is rude and scatterbrained!this is the last year my children will attend this school!
