Proud mom 2024 graduate:FHHS…Students will achieve excellence with family’s guidances with school administrative staffs and teacher’s support. We need both to raise an adolescent to be a future successful adult. With this formula, FHHS has been beyond my expectations, thank you FHHS Principal and teachers are to be commended.

This school is good, I just don’t like the environment. Many of the students are horrible and do bad things but the staffs don’t care.

The clubs are fun and you won’t regret all the experiences you will have. Teachers are super fun and will be there for you.

This school is by far the worst school a parent can ever put their child in. Teachers, staffs, students, etc. are no help to one another when it comes to bullying & they shut the victim down. How can a supposedly “Great School” allow this to happen? At the end, they still expect you to send your child to school knowing that he’s in danger. I am disgusted by this school & think that there’s favoritism in this school. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!

I am an African- American female . I do not recommend this school . Academically it isn't terrible , on the contrary I feel very uncomfortable attending this school. There was an incident that took place and my issues were not tend to . However the dean did advise me to report my problems to the NAACP. A statement like that should not be made most importantly to a child.

Graduated 2015 and had a great experience. Amazing teachers, you can tell most of them love their job and will do whatever they can to help students learn and enjoy it. The school also has lots of clubs, lots of sports team, out of the country trips (which give you an unbelievable experience, definitely worthwhile trust me), etc.

I am a student, currently a senior at Forest Hills High School. In a nutshell, the school is great. The majority of the teachers know what they are doing and love to teach. The remainder are old, annoyed by the students and faculty and unappreciative. The counselors at the school could care less about college readiness. All they want is for you to receive your credits, graduate and leave. I really wish the school payed more attention to that. In addition, the school lunch is gross. The lunch ladies are unhappy and are very snobby. Moreover, the school is designed for 2,000 students only and we have like 3,000+ ... On the contrary, they have really great programs that you can apply to and if you are lucky you get in.

I'm a freshman at FHHS and so far its great! I'm in the Carl Sagan program and it reallyy challenges me to learn more, study more and try my best. There's a lot of students in the school, but the different school sessions make things a bit easier. The teachers that I have seem to enjoy teaching and most are passionate about passing down their knowledge of the subject to their students, which is greatly appreciated. Although, the process of buying lockers and gym uniforms has become a big hassle since the school store has apparently closed. It has already been more that a week and I'm still struggling to buy my things even though I try to go get them everyday!

Worst school ever! You don't get to play in the gym during lunch, way too many rules. They actually teach for about 20-30 mins because the teachers have to take attendance and check homework. They don't care who leaves the school or anything. I wouldn't even come here but my parents are forcing me.
