North Forsyth High School

NFHS is overcrowded and understaffed. The fire marshal will no doubt be intervening and if the administration does not cut their out-of-district population there is no way they can meet the building person limit codes. If you are out-of-district be prepared to be sent back to your home school for any little thing (tardy included), now 4.0 students are being sent to their home schools due to a few tardies. North needs relief now and in-district students are suffering in crowded hallways and lunchrooms while other new schools in the county have empty classrooms waiting to be filled.

We have a great administrative staff and teachers that really care about the students!

I have been at North Forsyth since my sophomore year. I moved from an extremely competitive school in Massachusetts and came to find my classes to be much easier than they were at my old school. However, I don't attribute this to the teachers. I just think that kids aren't prepared for high school coming out of Georgia Elementary and Middle Schools. I am happy to say that I am going back to Massachusetts for college. I will have very fond memories of NFHS, especially from my many AP classes (the ones I was lucky enough to get), and will keep in contact with friends that I have made through the years. Overall, the teachers clearly care about their students and want the best for them, but the level of learning is not what it should be.

North Forsyth is a wonderful school. The staff is the most caring and supportive we have experienced. It is a large school but people go out of their way to make sure the students know they care. Academic expectations are very high. We have been very satisfied with the education at the school.

My son has attended North since he was a freshman. I am extremely disappointed in this school. The staff is rude, the administration is indifferent, and most of the teachers don't care. In the 4 years my son attended, he failed 2 classes but was given a 70 so he could pass to the next grade. Most of the teachers are indifferent to the kids and just herd them through whether they learn anything or not. There is no pride from the staff or teachers or the kids that attend. There are much better choices in Forsyth county for high schools.

I attended North as a student for 2 & 1/2 years. They certainly do not have the cleanest environment, but it is tolerable. The staff can be alright. There are those who don't care about the students progress but then there's always those few that do. The teaching is very poor. They tend to have ridiculous assignments for the students- ex: 11th grade, cutting, pasting and coloring pages into an 'Interactive Notebook' as the daily classwork. I dropped out of North with a gpa of under 2 and many offenses on my record, especially truancy. I now attend a new, more professional learning environment and have absolutely no problems. I've yet to find myself in any trouble, and my gpa has risen to above 3.4. Bottom line, if I could tell each one of you my honest opinions of North as a former student, do NOT send your child there.

Compared to Liberty County, GA Schools - North Forsyth seems to be light years ahead in academics, extracurricular and in teaching. My wife and I look forward to moving to Forsyth County and sending our kids to North Forsyth High School. Great job.

Amazing! Great faculty, student body, extra-curricular activities, and facilities. The only thing lacking is the baseball field, by far one of the worst in the county.

This school is alright. I moved here in the middle of my Sophmore year, and I can tell you it was hard transition, I went from a 6 period day, to a block schdual, and I had to repeat some classes. Some teachers are ok but Over all this school is average
