Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.58 out of 5 19 reviews
I love the whole environment of this school. It is small, having on average 25 to a class. But in the end, all teachers offer one on one help to students. Strong relationships are build and respect is shown through students and staff. I would like to change rules such as dress code. Dress code rules are very strict and in my opinion sexist.
I would have been better prepared for college if I had to write more papers in school, and give more presentations in front of an audience.
The teaching styles of educators here is impeccable. It creates a very nurturing, eye opening, and interesting learning environment for students. I, personally, made friends with many of the teachers I met here. They were my biggest supporters through many struggles, and helped me to step out of my comfort zone and discover talents I never knew I had, and did the same for countless other students.
