Please note, FCHS is the home of the new STEM Academy (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). This is a VERY rigorous program and not for the faint of heart. They have an excellent band program. The drama program is well-supported and the chorus is coming along nicely. Some of the teachers are very good at following I.E.P.s (Individual Educational Programs and some are DECIDEDLY not! However, I will reserve my full judgment until my child graduates.
Its an ok school, there are alot of haters at this school. Unless your white it is pretty hard to be a stand out student. The reason for that is racism. Anyways you want great schools Go to Santa Ana Ca and Orange county California. Its a better life over here!
I absolutely LOVE this school. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. My teachers are very wonderful and I love them all. I have friends that attend other schools in the county and they all say that FCHS is the best! Class of 2013!
I have two children who are currently attending FCHS. They are very diffeerent from each other and both have found wonderful experiences with FCHS. One child is very involved int he drama department. We could not have been happier when we found out that FCHS was the county's school that offered a career pathway from dramatic arts! Our other child is athletic and participates in several school sports. Both children take AP courses and standard classes as well. They had a desire to learn Greek, which was not offered, but there is was a teacher who agreed to meet with them on her own time and teach them Greek! Our experience has been a wonderful one at FCHS!
I love it! There are no drugs or gangs. The best in forsyth county.
Great school...Great Staff, Great kids, The school offers so much for the kids and engages them in all their choices.
Most desirable school in the area! Large enough to offer a large variety of classes yet small enough that every student can be involved!
I attended Central and loved it. I graduated in 2005 and enjoyed four wonderful years there. I had many caring teachers who encouraged me and also participated in multiple extracurricular activities. Forsyth Central offers a wealth of courses and a variety of extracurricular activities. my
Wonderful school, dedicated and caring teachers, harworking and caring students, both my daughters are graduates of this school and went on to successful college careers.
My 4 children attended Central & they are all successful students at Georgia Tech & UGA. Every one of our children were encouraged to do his & her best & work hard by the dedicated teachers & the wonderful counseling staff. I get tired of hearing other parents complain if their children were not 'given' grades. Children need to work to achieve & Central cares about teaching their students responsibility.
