They may have good teachers but the deans and principles don't care about the kids mental health, I've had 2 of my kids complain about how they are treated and what happens when they to to work something about when they're struggling. Forest lake high school seriously brings down your kids mental state, it did the same with me but because it was the closest district I hoped for the best and sent them there. Worst decision ever, my kids are now homeschooling and I will always recommend doing researching

I feel this school is a safety concern and here is why: Forest View Elementary. I have had 2 children attend forest view schools so far. When my second child attended this school, she had an IEP. Her IEP was for her ADHD. Due to her diagnosis she needed to see the school health office every day for receiving her medications. She needed these medications to be able to focus and concentrate on her schooling. The school policy is to allow and unlicensed personnel to administer these medications. I promptly said "no". These medications needed to be administered by a licensed person, the school did agree, probable because this is what I wanted. The licensed nurse was going to be out of the office on a Friday and she asked me to come in and medicate her (I'm licensed), so I did. After I medicated her in front of the secretary, who I called ahead of time to tell her why I was coming in, I went home. I received a call 1.5 hours later to inform me my daughter had gotten her medications. The district nurse entered the school walked by the secretary and into the health office with the health assistant and neither of them told the nurse she had already been medicated. Which was set up days in advance. When I found out I came into the school to find the principle, the nurse, the aide, and secretary all in a circle chatting about how they were going to deal with the error. My daughter had been sent back to class. No one was worried about her breathing, vitals, or consciousness. The only thing the school was worried about was how they were about to handle the situation legally. The school refuses to admit there was a mistake made to me or my daughter. It was spread through not to contact me. When I went to discuss the issue with the school the following Monday the secretary told me the principal was at the district office. When I went to the district office, I was told that the principal was in his school. So, in other words instead of talking to me about the mistake made the principal avoided me. Would I recommend this school only if your child does not NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION. NOT IF YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH STAFF IN THE OFFICE. But for educational means I give them a 4. For Special education purposes I rate them 5/5.

Great 7th and 9th grade teachers. AP classes are wonderful #
