I hated this school growing up and I believe this school has just got worse. A lot of troubled kids from different areas using someone else’s address. Teachers don’t want to deal with it so they let the bullying continue. The only thing I learned from going here is how much I disliked it. I had so many bad memories here that I would barley want to go to school. They need to take control of the kids and act like they care because I never felt that here.

This school has alarming test scores. My daughter's science teacher doesn't even know how to spell basic words. The teachers are careless and slack off. The only person who tries to enforce any discipline is the principal. Many students openly admit that they live in neighboring towns such as Broadview, Maywood and Bellwood. The majority of students are african american and they bully the minorities. There are fights all the time and police monitor the lunch. The cafeteria burns all the hot lunches. They also have a cockroach and mice infestation. Do not send your kids here.

My son goes to FPMS and has really excelled this year. A large majority of the teachers go above and beyond to ensure each student is on track on doing their best. The principal and staff are great and show amazing leadership. My son really grew this year, not only educationally but personally as well. FPMS has great potential to be just as great if not better than the surrounding districts, more people just need to be willing to give it a chance.

My daughter hates this school. She was in 6th grade and felt very out of place. Environment was chaotic and the staff never offered extra help for homework assignments. ect ect

Forest Park Middle School is fantastic! The principal and assistant principal show good leadership and truly care for the students. Also, my daughter's teachers challenge her academically and show a lot of respect towards students. Keep up the good work!
