This school is A+We moved from Stockbridge to Duluth in 2019 and my kids have felt welcome here and safe. The Principal and the staff keeps things running smooth. I am amazed how prepared they were when Covid-19 hit. They were ready to go online and teach without a problem.

When I went to this school I have absolutely nothing nice to say about it. Actually the only nice thing about this school are the teachers. Every teacher I had (besides one) were nothing but nice to me. On the other hand, one of my teachers was awful at their job. I was barely passing her class because of her constant talking about her personal life. I understand she maybe be struggling financially but, telling a bunch of 13 year olds how much money you make? Unacceptable. Also not to mention the kids. Every kid I met at that school was judgy and even just cruel. People were impersonating me online and on messages to make my life miserable. When my parents and I told the principal she said there was nothing she could do but switch schools. Which is insane to say I switch schools just because of bullying, but it got that bad. Another thing, my bus once got pulled over by a cop who pointed a gun at 6, 7, 8 (mostly 6) graders! I’m traumatized and still have anxiety from it. Also last year we had an 8th grader bring a gun? This is not safe! Last, just the education in general is bad, when I moved schools I was almost a whole month behind in what they were learning. I had to hire a Tutor, and I’m still working with a tutor just because they are all so ahead of me. Remind you this was months ago. All in all I do not recommend this school you may think I’m just some teenager who doesn’t know anything, but ask any other school what they think of this school. It’s all negative.

Our middle child has been involved in sports and the fine arts for East. all have met and exceeded our expectations. There is tremendous student support and opportunities for them to do things our other children never did. While the school lacks the diversity of those in the southern portion of the county, there is a healthy mix of students that allows for a multicultural experience. The northern part of the county is also diversifying quickly as Forsyth grows. One only has to look at graduation rates and college prep scores to see that the 5/10 isn’t reflective of the quality of education the children receive.
