Forestwood Middle School

I love Donald! This is our 4th year here.

My kids love going to school, that says it all on how safe they feel and how they are treated. One less star only because there is very minimal homework. I wish there was more homework and some extra curricular activities or clubs.

I attended this school for 4th grade in 2021 and i arrived partly through the school year because my parents got a divorce so this was already a hard time for me, and the school didn't make it much better they never helped me specifically to catch me up with things i hadn't learned yet in my old school that they had already learned and would be mad at me when i didn't know what they were talking about and it was very emotionally hard on me. In my previous school, i was in the EXPO/Gifted and Talented program because i was ahead in my learning. When i tried out for this school they flat out told me that i wasn't smart enough. Imagine a 10 year old who was just told they weren't smart enough. Awful right? Anyways in my math class i can't remember my teacher's name but i know it started with a B, but unfortunately she was my homeroom teacher also. She was awful to me most of the time especially in math. Anyways from my previous school we were just starting multiplication and when i arrived at this school they were just finishing multiplication so they were on the twelves so i didn't know anything except my 1's and 2's. This teacher constantly put me on the spot and called on me when i obviously didn't know the answer and when i would try to tell her i didn't know or try to count it out on my fingers she would yell at me and tell me i should know this. Also one time when i was taking the reading STAAR test i finished early because in elementary school i excelled in that class, i went to give the packet to her (it was on paper still then) i was the first one done and she told me to go sit back down and to go over my work and actually finish the test... i was baffled, she didn't let me turn it in until i "looked over it" because according to her i wasn't done. ALSO i had a brother in like KINDERGARTEN and this was the first ear that we rode the bus home and he forgot so he tried to go car-line and me and my mom DID NOT GET ONE CALL FROM THE SCHOOL so we drove there and sure enough he was sitting in the office they didn't even think to call us he was in KINDERGARTEN. So overall i don't think you should go to this school because the staff here are rude to CHILDREN and i recommend really looking at reviews when your looking for a good school because that school was awful for me.

Desepcionante que le nieguen apoyo a un estudiante con necesidad especial .

The only thing the principal cares about is attendance scores. Your child can have doctor's notes and high grades and they will still harass you for every day not in the school. When children are sick, keep them home, it's the responsible thing to do.

Súper buena, orgullosa de tener a mi hija allí
