Forest Hills high school is a good school with many opportunities. I’ve learned about many different subjects of my choosing and have been able to join different clubs that fit my interests. Throughout my experience thus far, I’ve made many great friendships with other students and have built good relationships with teachers. Forest Hills has offered a lot of support to students during and after the pandemic emotionally and academically. Teachers are very willing to devote their time and energy to help better students' understanding of concepts and motivate them to better. One thing my school lacks is a feeling of a strong community. Although we have activities to integrate students, we don’t have a big sports team or enough events that gain student interest. Overall, it is a great school and many opportunities for students to grow personally and academically.
I grew to love the environment here at Forest Hills High School. There are so many people here that are easy to befriend, and the teachers are great as well. I’m in the Carl Sagan Program, which is absolutely great in terms of providing experience pertaining to STEM careers. Definitely join clubs to make the most out of your highschool experience!
All in all Forest Hills High School is ok. From my personal experience, as well as on account of some acquaintances, they have pretty good programs for the science, arts, and humanities. There’s a mix of teachers who know what they’re doing and are passionate about their work and teachers who simply can’t teach, no matter how well they know their subjects. They have a wide variety of after school activities available for students such as clubs, sports, and college classes for the junior and seniors, all of which people seem to enjoy. As long as you keep up with your work and try you should be ok.
