This school is the worst school ever. Whatever you do avoid this school at all cost. Very discriminatory, they dont listen to parents, they would rather kick your child out then teach or find a solution.

My daughter went to Sherwood Elementary from 1998 to 2001, and had a great experience. The school was old, but clean, and not run down, and dirty like it is now. I recently attended grandparents day to have lunch, and attend the book fair with my grandchild. I didn't expect lunch to be good, so no surprises there. The children served themselves hot food of their choice, not always the best choices, onto flimsy styrofoam plates, and miraculously made it to their tables with out the need of cleanup from the disgusting mop bucket full of black water in the main walkway in the cafeteria! My grandchild's kindergarten teacher is by far the greatest disappointment. The children have no desks, and no appointed seating at all. They have stations that they just migrate to, and basically do as they please. The rooms decor is rundown, and dirty. Not bright, and colorful to spark imagination, and learning. Her teacher was an ill tempered woman that sat at her table filled with "stuff" and yelled at the children that she was "Fixing to have to take away points if they didn't shut up. You are supposed to be reading not talking in reading group." I left this once loved school with tears in my eyes, and pain in my heart knowing that my grandchildren have to attend this school. What happened?!

I attended Pine Forest for my senior because I was transfer student from another states, I try have high hope and high expectation when I went to this school, but sadly and unfortunately I was very wrong about my expectation and the standard here at Pine Forest, is not really that good. In the classroom it's depends on which class you have, 70% of my class schedule was awesome because, some of the great teachers and mentor in there, that were willing to help you and take the actual times to help the students. then there is the 30% where the students most of the time are causing some kind of riot or sneaking in threats. But the school is prone to having random school fight, and what was disappointing was that a school fight was broke out on a Friday before Winter Breaks, and it took three to four teachers and three sheriffs or deputies to stop two female student from having a pathetic catfight, in total 7 adults has to step in just to stop a fight. It's doesn't take 7 adults to stop a fights especially with students. The Teachers was a 50/50 where it's did has it up and down, for example my reading teacher actually let couple of students out of her class for passing a reading test and I have to stay in her class because I pass the test, but I wasn't allow to leave that class and have another class for replacement. The school has a terrible system where it's doesn't inform the students that need to take a test, instead they just let the students come to class without emailing them early, and they neglected to ready the students when the testing would appear. Dozen of students was yanked out of their class mostly senior to take their SAT/ACT test, but every other seniors or juniors are inform early and still have times to studies, then without having the nerve to inform them, at the same time making them miss not only their class and mark as absent, but they couldn't do anything and tell the parents they were absent from school. For new students that are transferring to the school, they just make you fill out forms online and don't ask you to pick out your class schedule or hand you a list of items that is needed, they pick out your class without your permission and doesn't ask about if you want to do dual enrollment and pretend like nothing has happen. The school just seem really an inexcusable as they couldn't keep some of the teachers there, they're always doing random things without knowing. The JROTC program was outstanding introduction to the military.
