"Forrestdale is a very parent oriented school. This can be great for kids who have parent(s) who can be very involved and who know how to work a system, but students with working parent(s) will suffer both in education as well as in opportunities in advanced placement, extracurricular activates and sport teams. As in many schools, the child's individual education depends on the individual teacher a child is assigned to. a few teachers are off the top of the chart in excellence and dedication, but many are mediocre or just plain terrible as they concerned about minimum hours 'working' and abandoning teaching to large homework assigned to the parents to manage at home. This is not a 'boy' friendly or active child school as there is little time for the kids to work off physical energy and there is much severe discipline associated with childhood lack of impulse control."
