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 - Betsy Ross Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy grandson has had excellent teachers, small class sizes, just the right challenges without undue pressure. Dr. Brunson has been an incredible role model and she works hard to communicate openly and honestly with all. The Challenge program has been excellent -- creative and mind expanding, not just more homework.Parent Review9y ago
