My overall experience with being a student in WS/FCS was great. They offer a lot of opportunities for extracurriculars, arts programs, math/science programs, internships, and so on. I was in the International Baccalaureate MYP and Diploma Programmes at Paisley Magnet and Parkland Magnet High. The programmes made me a well-rounded and rigorous student I am today. I will always appreciate the opportunities that were granted to me in IB as well as how it has molded me into the student and forever learner I am. However, there are aspects in WS/FCS that do need improvement: I feel that there is a lot of segregation in the school district. For example, there is less diversity in schools like Parkland High, Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy, Kennedy, Cook, etc. which makes these schools more liable to receive insufficient/worn resources that hinder student success. Additionally, I feel that the school district needs to include more diverse student voice, meaning students of all backgrounds.
I like it how the people are very friendly and you can find anyone that has your interests. I also like it how the teachers are accommodating and will help you in your work if you really need it. They will also give your extra points for work and credit. I also always feel safe whenever I am on campus and never have to worry about my stuff being taken. You will always have something fun planned, whether it is expected or not. You might even make a new friend while doing that activity! My life is never dull!
Overall my experience with this county was very good. I understand that with such a big county it can be hard to take into account everybody's wants and needs, however, Forsyth county did a good job. I never felt as if there were certain resources that I needed and couldn't have. Particularly Walkertown High School did a good job of creating an environment that was welcoming to everybody. I know of so many opportunities that were available to students who needed them such as help with paying for field trips, free and reduced lunch and free meals to everybody once the pandemic hit. I also feel that I got a a quality education that will prepare me for college. There were so many classes available that could prepare me for my future career as well as my adult life. All of the staff and teachers that were employed by Forsyth county schools truly cared about each and every student and did what was best for them.
