Forest Hill High School Reviews
Rating 3.37 out of 5 116 reviews
I have only been attending Forest Hill for two years, during my junior and senior years of high school. I've always been one to keep to myself but the students and teachers are very easy to get along with. I've made great friends with the students and some of the teachers as well. The school itself has a great campus as well as extracurricular activities so that gets a five star rating from me. The only thing that I think is the worst part of going to Forest Hill are the fights. Of course I expect there to be fights amongst student in every school around the world, but from my experience here in Jackson, it isn't getting any better.
My experience at Forest Hill has been very eventful to say the least, I enjoy my classmates and teachers. The environment of the establish is very welcoming and I feel very comfortable being there as well. The worst parts of the school I could say is probably when I get a bit stressed from the workload, these could be cause of time management skills I need to develop. Something I would like to see change is the coursework, I think a class showing us how to do things like taxes would assist us in life more.
My experience at Forest Hill High School and it was some good memories and bad memories and I gained friends, showed integrity, respected my teachers, made good grades, and I graduated with honors. My teachers taught me a lot while I was there. My band director taught me life and music lessons that pertained life to music. I lost friends after I graduated.
