NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has attended this school for the past 4 years. He is more than ready to attend a university. He was able to secure up to a million dollars in scholarships and accepted into 15 universities. The school has really made a turn around and the level was raised 3 levels. It is now a commendable school. The principal is great at his job and very approachable. He is always available if needed. I have a deep respect for him. My student had an issue with a staff member and he became depressed and refused to go to school. Mr. Hull spoke to him , and it was like night and day. My son was excited about school and the activities. There are plenty of sports and activities to keep the students active. They have an amazing marching band.Parent Review1y ago - Forest Park Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review4y ago - Garfield Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have a 1st grader at the school and she has had an incredible experience there. I'm very pleased with her teachers (last year, she had a National Board-Certified kindergarten teacher!), the classes are small and there are kids from all kinds of families: both parents in the home, single parents, college-educated, working class, Christian, other, and all ethnicities. It is a delightful place where kids are kids and engaged in completely developmentally appropriate activities, since it's Preschool - 2nd grade. This is a gem of a little neighborhood school!Parent Review9y ago
