GreatSchools Rating
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.

My overall experience at Forney High has been a wild ride. I have had my great teachers who are willing to go above and beyond for their students education. There have been times of feeling lost and unsupported by the school but things happen. I obviously wish we could be an open campus and have no uniforms. I also wish the school sprit was more present. Over I have made a lot of good memories, and have learned plenty of life lessons in the time being here.

The kids are okay at best most times and the dress code is kind of atrocious. However most of the teachers are pretty amazing and easy to learn from in my experience

Here in Forney High School everyone is involved in just about anything. What I like about Forney High is the amount of opportunities to succeed along with teachers and administrators aiding with such success. Mostly everyone is spirited and also have respect/get along well with our community officers and other employees who provide for us. Not only that but there is a variety of teachers who truly want to help. I myself am involved with extracurriculars and also ask for support by teachers.

Before considering this school, I do feel that it is only right to make all potential students and parents aware of the everlasting and ongoing bullying problem.

I am going into my junior year at Forney and my experience has been extremely difficult. I came to this district as a freshman from Colorado and there was little to no feeling of welcome in the community. The school has a serious problem with cliques and exclusion. I'm sure that it has a lot to do w...
