Avoid this school at all costs. My children have been students here since kindergarten. The school has missed the mark with regards to covid. I have friends whose kids go to Robert Down Elementary and they are with their teachers for 4-6 hours per day. The teachers have it set up so the parents have minimal work to do. Not at Forest Grove, at Forest Grove my children spend 45 minutes per day with the teacher. Maybe two days a week they have another 15-20 minute meeting with the teacher. The rest is through online sites, with prerecorded lectures. I spend my time juggling between getting my work done, and helping them complete their work. The websites the students need to use are constantly changing. The daily meeting times are constantly changing. The teachers are unwilling to even grade the children's work. Huge disappointment. If you are moving to the area, I recommend you check out Carmel schools or Robert Down. Do not do this to your children.

I have 2 different reviews for this school. For an average student I feel this school is great! Small classes, supportive teacher, and real caring. Small school feeling and in turn small community feeling.For a overachiever student, I feel like they lack in support as thier AP offerings are lowering, then don't offer any support to students who want to go above and beyond, and they cater to what CA colleges and leave no room to expand to students wanting to go to out of state colleges or ivy leages. Want your student to take the PSAT, ACT, or SAT? Absolutely no support. Need a student to be in a higher class, again no support. The school even pushes for students to not take a full class load and take more extracurricular after-school activities. (Why encourage freshmen to not take a full day?)My student wanted to take an AP test in a class not offered...no support. My 8th grader needed to take a highschool math class...pulling teeth to accomplish. Military family support is zero, as they really don't deal with students who plan to transfer well.(Nor them coming in feeling very welcome).So while I truly have great things to say about the teachers, the administration to helping student who want to be high achievers was lacking.Side note: My student loves thier robot club!!

I’m so sorry if this offends anyone in favor of this school, but I personally thought it was horrible. Teachers barely teached so much as just sitting us in front of a website. They as well as that were less than polite to students, unwilling to acknowledge their own mistakes, and failed to intervene when students mistreated each other right before their face. The amount of homework was beyond unfair and I was constantly horribly mistreated by my fellow students. I will say that their theatre program was amazing but I would overall strongly not recommend this school.
