North Forsyth High

My granddaughter is a sophmore at NFHS and to say the school is bad is generous. Students are met with low expectations by instructors. Good instructors tend to leave. Nothing is enforced, no dress code. Security is extremely lacking. They bring drug sniffing drugs in on occasion and make a few arrests. My granddaughter's teacher and guidance counselor told me the curriculum is dumbed down and teachers are told not to give homework,as many students are from single parent households withmany children and the eldest are responsible for sibling care. This is a great injustice to each child in attendence at NF. How are these children going to thrive when they are held back by school administrators?? I can tell you they will not, except for outliers. As a former job corps counselor, I can see the damage prejudgement can do to adolescents ages 16-24. The school is running on low energy and expects the least. With that outlook, that's exactly what they get. The majority of children are being expected to lose. Shameful

The Principal and all of his staff take a genuine interest in the students. If I have any problem, I am able to speak to any of them directly and they follow up very quickly. My children feel respected and cared for by most everyone in the school.

Communication from Mr. Burleson is great. Parents are informed on a consistent basis of updates and activities at the school.
