I have had a chance to see other public and private schools and I am proud my children attend this school, I am looking forward to another great year.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-08-16 “The principal, Mr. Haynie, is very involved, as are the entire staff and teachers. I've been very impressed with the school's operations and expectations. Both of my school age children had wonderful teachers last year, Mrs. Fragoza (2nd gr) and Mrs. Powell (Kg). A terrific school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-02 “Recently moved to the area and I was happy with the range of activities available, as well as the quality of the educational programming. I believe my son will do well at this school. I was surprissed by the math scores in 3rd grade, but the other scores all showed much higher than the state average.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-10-18 “Wonderul in every way! Great teachers and the parents are very involved with the school activities.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-09-17 “My children were students for several years and at first I was happy with the school. This school cares for scores not children” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-09-09 “The administration is not very supportive to the staff. The ED teacher is exceptional. We have been fortunate to have had two terrific women make a difference in our childs life. The last years co-teacher still sends letters and cards to my child as well as remembers important events. She has always gone above and cares for the kids as if they are her own. We miss her terribly and I think that it will effect my child not to have her there. This year has been slower response but a lot less hassle from the front office staff. Glad to see that the office staff has new happier faces. It would be nice to see the new principle instead of him always being in the office.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-18 “great academics, great sports, good parent involvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-25 “Great teacher involvement with academics. PTA very weak, but school is trying to get more parents to become members. Good class size, high standards.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-22 “Very Good school, my child did his 4th grade in a school in Miami getting grades around C, he is doing 5th grade in Forest City, and his attitude changed getting now grades between B and A.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-04 “First Impression is that of efficiency. Teachers seem to be closely monitored for such and our child loves her school. Too strict for our liking in the area of parental oversight. Appointments have to be made 24 hours ahead of time before a parent can even observe their child's class and operation. Food for anxiety when first releasing one's young baby to a new system for seven hours.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-03 “Forest city elementary is an excellent school. The academic program and the quality of teachers is fantastic. The kids also receive PE twice a week, as well as music, art, and computer lab once a week. There could be much more parent involvement, however, the parents that do participate do an incredible job and work hard to make up for it. The guidance counselor is not the most helpful and doesn't seem to really look out for the children's best interest. The pre-k disablities program is fantastic. The teacher and the therapists go well beyond what is expected. The guidance department, however, could do a much better job of making the parents feel like part of the team and getting them involved. Overall, forest city is a fantastic school and I am please at how well my children are doing.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-03-10 “This school is great. I recently transfered my child from a private school to this one. And there is a world of diffrence in her. She now looks forward to going to school and doing homework. Her teacher(s) are great the respond to my letters within 24 hrs and my e-mails within two hours. I want my child to have the best education available to her and if I could start the whole process over this would be my first choice no questions asked.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-05-18 “It's a gamble whether or not you get a good teacher, the front office staff is very rude and if you have any questions about your child's education you run the risk of making yourself 'known'.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-08-26 “Everything about this school is exceptional. The teachers are dedicated and care for our children as if they were their own and parental involvement is outstanding.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-04-13 “Love this school, my daughter has been there for 4 great years!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-04-05 “Both of my children have attended this school for all of their Elementary years.
