    "The teacher's are pretty great, but the student population of this school has gone downhill. There are fights literally every single day, and despite the efforts of many of the staff, it is only getting worse. There are no true punishments for these kids who fight. They get 3 days suspension and then come right back, no ticket or otherwise. There are also too many kids in each classroom, 35 kids crammed into a class with 28 seats and 7 are squashed on the floor with notebooks in their laps. The counselors apparently don't care where the students end up. The school is very over-populated. There aren't even enough seats in the lunch room for every kid to sit."

    "Look, this is a fantastic school. Hands down. If you're willing to put yourself out there and meet people and try new things you will be greatly rewarded. I graduated in 09 and I can honestly say it was one of my fondest times I had growing up, even compared to that big university down in Austin. I honestly don't understand the criticism from people on this site. High school isn't about memorizing the Pythagorean theorem or getting the highest mark on your English exam, in fact it's about growing up and the experiences you make with your friends and the environment. I feel like Naaman provides excellent tools for all this. It has a diverse student population that is reflected in the activities offered to its students whether it be sports or clubs. What I also loved about the school is that it taught me how to grow a backbone and look out for myself, an essential for surviving college. That's the problem with so many parents nowadays. Too many are demanding that the school provide the goods and services to their children (i.e. coddle them to death). Instead it should be the responsibility of the student to go out and find what they want."

    "I graduated from Naaman Forest back in 2004 and I will say it was the most enjoyable 4 years of school in my life besides college of course. The teachers here really care about the students and same with the administration staff. Joe Skinner was one of my favorite teachers back in the day but he has since retired. Dr. Gerald Hudson was an assistant principal at the time and was one of my greatest supporters while at Naaman. I also played baseball and the athletic community is outstanding. It was like my home away from home."
