Five Forks is just perfect! The staff and teachers here always listen to the students and are very respectful to everybody. My kids are in accelerated classes, all thanks to the hard-working teachers here that make sure our children get the proper education needed to succeed, and they have more than 50 clubs and activities for my child to participate in! In addition, my kids seem to love it here, and I feel the same way. Keep up the good work!

Not all teachers are bad. Some don't care at all. AP's don't return emails or concern. 6th grade is hard no matter what school but don't expect much support from the staff. My son is not the easiest to teach due to his attention deficit issues, he is not perfect but he is WAY smarter and well behaved than they have him pegged. I wish my son was somewhere else!

You should stop the bullying! I was teased and called names RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TEACHER!! And she didn't even say anything, she just smiled! (it was a sub.)
