My son attended kindergarten through 5th grade. He had a wonderful experience as did I as a parent. The teachers were not only academically outstanding but also very caring. Forrest School is a family. The PTA is active and works well with the school leaders. I really can not say enough positive thi
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2022Very satisfied with the education my daughter is currently receiving from John A. Forrest ES. Her teachers are very committed to providing her with a great education- I personally feel the 4/10 rating this school is reflecting is not an accurate gauge of the education provided by Forrest ES.
Posted by a parent on 3/28/2018My son attends Forrest school and is receiving a top notch education. The principal is involved and the teachers truly care about all of the children. There is a strong emphasis on reading (just ask "bookman") and also philanthropy (this year the students are raising money to provide gifts of animal
Posted by a community member on 1/28/2017School is good, but stay away from kindergarten. Kindergarten teacher is very unprofessional and rude person!
Posted by a parent on 9/9/2015Our school is amazing! Everyone on staff, from Janitors to cafeteria to teachers and administration, secretaries, assistants, specialists, paraprofessionals, every person in the building is invested in maintaining a safe, secure, highly educated environment.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is very good. The teachers, staff and principal are very wise, regardless of race or religion. The school also collaborates with the officer to maintain school security. The rules are very good and in the 3 years my child has been at school, there has not been a single problem. My two children go to school here. If I have more children, I will send them all to Sixteent Avenue SchoolParent Review1y ago - Westmoreland Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is by far the worst school. Stay away, your child will not be safe here. My son was getting bullied in front of my very own eyes in the school playground as my child was standing first in line this other kid came pushed and shoved my kid back and made him cry, the person in charge of the children in the playground didn't even do a thing. After I approached the lady to advise her of what was going on she got really nasty and said do not confront the other child. Which I never did because I went straight up to her. After I went in to the principal office I met up with my child teacher and what she had to say was YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO DEFEND HIMSELF because this is not the first time this happens....as a mother I was furious and disgusted this was not the response a parent is looking for from his/her child teacher when your child is getting bullied. After I learned that the same child had almost pushed my kid down the stairs in another occasion. They only want your money stay away....Parent Review2y ago
