GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Forsyth Elementary is average. Too many worksheets, no gifted program, not much art. Some teachers are well liked and respected, others are not. (Word gets around and parents request specific teachers) Music programs in Fall and Spring are well planned and executed. Might be a little too much 'parental involvement' at this school, in my opinion. All things considered-one of the better schools in the Decatur area.
