When I first got here I was shocked. There's nice people around us and the teachers, in my experience, have been fabulous! The only thing is, the building. Its huge perimeters often make me confused and I take the wrong passages and sometimes the food seems little bit nasty. However, their enormous school spirit and ambition to continue makes me like this school. I would recommend you come here If you are bilingual. There is tons of people you can talk to!
Just, to be honest, Klein forest high school has been a very good school. I've only been there for two years, but I've learned so many things. I've learned that sometimes you gotta put yourself first to get things done, I've learned that it's ok to have fun and do things out of your comfort zone, and I've also learned to know who they're for you or not. Klein Forest is very diverse and has a lot of activities to let you have fun while experiencing different things throughout you 4 years there. it is defiantly a school that changes you for the better!
Klein Forest has the potential to be great as it once was years before. But, unfortunately now they let the students get away with everything and pass students who shouldn't be passing to get higher scores and state funding. These students are set up for complete failure in life because of this and the teachers are pressured to comply no questions asked. The teachers are passionate and want to help the students become successful adults, but unfortunately the administration doesn't follow through with simple discipline and support for teachers and the students are the ones who suffer the most from this.
Also, in the last 10 years there as has been a huge decline in parent involvement and student organizations. They do try, but there is just no school spirit like there was before. This also comes from lazy administrators not taking pride in programs other than football or basketball and not showing up to support students at EVERY event or acknowledge them. It's truly sad.
