Need new principal

My child has been going there since kindergarten and is now in the 6th grade. Ever since Mrs Barajas has become principal the school has slipped in test scores and quality. Im saddened by what the school has become.

This school has gone from "HERO" to "ZERO" with the current adminastration, the are a "D" grade school form the state of North Carolina

They have become like any other public school. With high teacher turnover. Hired teachers that have to use a breath-a-lizer to start the car. Administrators that never follow up on any issue you have, they put is all off on their already over-taxed teacher.

School built on moral focus.

I love how the school teaches morals along with instruction. The downfall is some of the students that attend the school. Now that more families are realizing that there is not a fee to attend more students with behavior issues are attending. I feel like it is more like public school in this aspect. I prefer this school over the other elementary and middle schools in my area.

Amazing experience

My children having been attending Forsyth Academy since kindergarten. They are now in the 5th and 3rd grade. We have had nothing but positive experiences there. Their teachers have always been absolutely amazing and will go above and beyond to see their students succeed. The administration operates in excellence as well. There are many opportunities to volunteer and be apart of your child's educational experience. We've since had several family and church member bring their children to Forsyth Academy. I will recommend this school over and over again!

Great School

My son attends this school and while he may be very smart this school caters to his needs and where he is. Each student is catered to where they are at the time and encouraged to build from that place. No one is left behind

School is fine

Attendance policy needs to be REVISED !!! Parking is very aggravating.. School has grown so the parking should expand with the growth of the school.

This is our daughters first year at any school. I think she's doing pretty well. The only problem that I have is that I was told she may need some speech therapy. I agreed to the help for her and was told I would be contacted when the help would be available but haven't heard anything since and the that was over a month ago. Also all the kids are supposed to get one free lime green shirts and she has yet to receive it. She started a little late because it took some time for her to get accepted in the school but she's been there since September now and still no shirt. Other than that I think the teachers are wonderful and my daughter has had the opportunity to make new friends and I think this will be a great school for her to go through the 8th grade.

My opnion

I feel like this school is a great school. Academically better then others. I feel our children education is not soley up to teachers. Parents needs to be involved. If you give of your time to know what is going on in their classroom you would find ways to stay connected. Forsyth Academy gives you an opportunity to stay connected and get involved.

I love FA

This is my daughter's first year at FA and I absolutely love the school and staff here. Everyone is s welcoming and kind. My daughter has Mr. Martin (she is in kindergarten) and he is the best. He does so well with the children and helps them learn things in a different way. I totally recommend the school if you are looking!!!!
