Forest Hills Elementary School

This school is really great. I always feel come, and my kids love the school.

This used to be a wonderful school, however the mass attrition of the brightest and most talented teachers due to the incompetent administration has left us with no choice but to remove our child from the school. Mismanagement, lack of accountability and communication, along with operational neglect are just a few of the issues that come to mind.

My experience at the International School was awful. They do not support learning differences. The school only use e-books so there are instances when you can't access the software, and I personally didn't like the idea of a young child on an tablet for more than 6 hours. They do not really focus on writing, since they only use computerized testing. The school is not as diverse as they say they are, and they have been many instances of racism, which go as far as black minorities being physically attacked by other students. Some of the teachers have very little experience, and need training on classroom management. My child was quarantining and had to attend virtually for 2 weeks and I would listen in. I found in her math class that 90 percent of the time was spent chatting, as opposed to going through questions. The school does have small class sizes, great arts program, is very clean, and a golf academy. Their students don't seem to go to very good colleges.
