Charles A Forbes Middle School

Generally pretty bad. Behavior is never taken care of. Teachers are generally pretty normal. Not bad, but not good either. Pretty much all kids are out of control and aggressive.

I only attended Forbes my 8th grade year, as I'd just moved to Georgetown. It was a decent school, not amazing, not horrific. Pretty much 'meh'.

this school's stats are deceiving; they are reflective of the diverse population which is why we chose GT schools out of the many excellent options available in neighboring cities. The AP coursework and teachers are good and there is a sense of caring community through all schools. GISD is in building mode, having weeded out those who are not on board with progressive 21st century learning strategies and there is tremendous opportunity here !!

I think the staff at least the majority seem to really care about the children. Middle school is such a difficult time for these children. I admire the bravery the staff has to teach them. I wish sixth graders were kept in the elementary level, given more time to mature instead of being thrown into such a system they really are not mature enough to handle. Most don't do so well in the first half of the year,but tend to do better in the second half. So I have mixed feelings about it.
