The Principal is the only perosn that dresses like a professional. Most of the teachers dress like if they work for a yard cleaning service co. Most of the techers stay for one to two years. They don't check homework, I've seeing some teachers texting and talking on cell phones during class time. Some teachers lack knowledge in what they teach. I think this school is among the worse in this county.

Brandi: Forest Hills was the best few years of my LIFE. It was a great school, I love how they breakfast and how it was like "outside" to get from room to room. I went there from Kindergarden to third grade, then I moved. The teachers were really nice and I loved the set up they had. I miss my old school, so many memories were made there.

I think the safety could be much better in the school especially during morning and after school hours.

Meghan: I think it could improve on many things. My child went to Bay Crest last year and it was much better. There are bullies that continue to harass my niece and only get '' a talking too'' and they require uniform on picture day which is ridiculous! Not to mention they failed 2009 yearly progress.
