7/17/2025
I'm a junior at West Forsyth High School, and overall, it's been a good experience. Most of the teachers are supportive and make learning more enjoyable. There's a strong sense of school spirit, and I've made great friends through clubs and sports. If I could change one thing, I'd like to see more class options, especially electives or career-focused courses. Sometimes it feels a bit limited. Still, I've grown a lot here and I'm grateful for the experiences I've had so far.

Counselors should be able to help the students more. Most of the teachers are super sweet and helpful. Sports are amazing quality.
5/24/2025
The academics were mediocre. Science department is terrible. Math was really strong. Arts and other departments were doing well enough.

This school is pretty poor. I thought it would be good, but it's not. The teachers don't really care. Also, my daughter had a one time disciplinary incident and they SUSPENDED her for the remainder of the year (so now that's 6+ months) and provided very little support for us.

I believe this school has done a good job educating my child. I've heard stories about West from many folks that have not had their children attend this school. Those stories have all proven to be exaggerations based on biases. The truth is many schools in Georgia just are not as strong as their nor...
