We moved to Forsyth County (from Gwinnett) for the schools. We had 3 kids go through all levels and all 3 graduated from South Forsyth HS. All took advantage of AP classes and varsity athletics. One was also in the IB program.
We have nothing but positives to say about SFHS. The teachers, coaches and counselors are all wonderful.
Each child was well prepared for college (2 at UGA, 1 at Georgia Cillege).
One child is already a doctor (pediatrician), one is 2 nd year medical student and one is a first year dental student.
So we are very happy with our kid’s future , thanks in part to their education from Forsyth County Schools!

I think that the quality of the schools here are nice. There is no severe bullying going around. Not many fights break out in the school. Accidents have rarely occurred. The schools are relatively clean and the teachers can be very approachable. The only issue that I find with the high schools would be their counselors and other outside staff. They do not seem to take the liking for other students as much as the teachers do. Counselors here have not been so great in my experience. Though a few are very kind and understanding, others were rude and impolite. Other staff members seem as though it is not their responsibility to be kind to the students at the school. Perhaps it was just my experience with them.
The Forsyth County School District does a decent job encouraging students to excel in Advanced Placement classes. The high school administration and counselors are spread too thin due to the sizes of the schools. While the sizes of the schools do have a negative effect on administration student relations it does, however, offer each student with more opportunities. The school offers a large and varied selection of clubs, academic and social. I found it very easy to find a place and a friend group that fit my interest and values.
