We moved to Forsyth because many people think they have a better schools than other countiesThis is our first year with this school and after two weeks in this school, many problems started. First, the school though our daughter was a mentally handicap so they decided to put her in several separate classroom with out letting us know about it. Many emails then meeting but they never explained how did they made that decision. Their facilitator was on and on about this obligation and that obligation, but never once said that she has had no obligated to take her job or leave her job.Then IEP, our daughter received a special need because SSD due to her birth. This speech language pathology was born and raised in Forsyth, just graduated with no experienced and has this job with her county. She was assigned to work with our daughter. She had never communicated with us regarding what so ever about our daughter. Turn out, her case manager and the facilitator have to handle the talk. (may be this pathology is too young to speak).Not only that, in the past 6 months, she teach our daughter about idioms only. We contacted her case manager and the case manger told us that what their team decided for our daughter to learn until the end of school year. Idioms is nice to learn, but that is not a academic or standard form. We can buy a idioms book or download it online for our daughter to practices why do we need a Pathology to teach.Maybe, this Pathology is inventing her own idioms that no one has ever known to teach kids. This school is running with a lot of negative people.Any one want to know about Forsyth County, just email us to find out the true before buy a very expensive house to live. You can rent a house for first year and try out their school before stuck in the situation like us (400k).FYI: a lots of farms and cows are here in Forsyth.

My son just graduated from Sharon elementary and I have nothing but great things to say about the school. Academics are top notch. Just look at the test scores. We loved his teachers. They are warm, organized, thoughtful, fun. My son's least favorite class is ELA, but he said to me all year "At least my teacher makes it really fun!". That says a lot right there coming straight from the mouth of a student.

Most of the teachers here are sexist towards the girls. My son was bullied here for 3 years by girls, and the administrators did nothing about it. My other son was really advanced in his academics, so we requested him to move up a grade. He excelled on the test that was given, but the principal still denied the request. The teacher and staff here are really bad overall, and sometimes can talk about students in a "joking" way. Highly do net recommend this school. DO NOT LET THE HIGH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE FOOL YOU.
