We've had nothing but positive experiences with this school. My son has attended here for K, 1, and 2nd grade. The teachers have been engaging and supportive. My son is in speech therapy and his speech has improved vastly. They have fun family activities throughout the year and my son loves it here.

This is a beautiful school, and they do have activities to involve families.My experience has been terrible. There is extreme bullying issue here that is never addressed.There is no resolution, it is not a safe environment for a child.Many days of work and school have been lost because of this.

Great! We really enjoyed our time at Forest Hills, especially being able to walk/ride bikes to school.

It is bad, not all the staff though. Some are great but they leave.

Disappointed and disturbed. We came here to get away from inner city schools and this is far worse than anything I've seen before.

I am not impressed by this school at all. The only good thing about it is how nice the assistant principal is, in my opinion.

FHGE has fantastic educators, neighborhood, and facilities. All children eat for free which makes a huge difference to many families. The IB push is a plus, language immersion a plus, just wish there was more emphasis on language acquisition, academics, and less importance placed on test scores and test data.

This is an AMAZING school! The teachers are incredible, the principal is fabulous, and the students are all motivated and hard workers. I cannot say enough good things about Forest Hills.

The 3 rating is not accurate in my opinion. Our daughter has attended FHE since 2010 and there have MANY IMPROVEMENTS in the last 12 months under the new principal. The teachers there care a great deal about the students and do a FANTASTIC job at challenging the advanced ones.

These students are collecting bottle caps to illustrate accumulation of over use of plastic and then will recycle them for a brighter future.
