Forest Hills Elementary located on Holly Road in Eden Prairie serves preschool through fifth grade students as part of the Eden Prairie Public Schools District 272. Promoting a healthy mix of academic expectations with a commitment to celebrating the arts and the wellbeing of children, Forest Hills Elementary students can enhance their studies with weekly musical participation in band, choir and orchestra or walks along Forest Hills' sensory path for a “brain break” that reduces stress and enhances concentration. Educating the whole child emotionally, socially and environmentally, students are invited to enjoy the Minnesota weather in the school's courtyard and outdoor classroom or tap into their ingenuity to invent, design and build in Forest Hills' dedicated MakerSpace that includes materials and tools that encourage innovation. Forest Hills' core scholastic subjects consist of English language arts, personal management, health, art, world language, music, mathematics, science, social studies and P.E. to develop "critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication." Emphasizing a positive student mindset, Forest Hills Elementary also believes in cultivating "flexibility, resilience, empathy, optimism, and persistence," in pursuing academic goals and personal excellence. Supporting students as individuals as well as a body of learners, Forest Hills Elementary shapes self-confident, competent young adults.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
