As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote My experience at East Forsyth Middle School was amazing. I was beyond prepared for high school. I was constantly pushed to be the best I could be. The teachers were the best, as they always supported me, as well as other students in everything we did. I always felt like they believed in me. At East, I knew I was going to succeed. I love going back there and visit quite often. Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter goes to East Forsyth Middle. This is my third child to attend this school by choice. Since I live in Forsyth County, we have the choice of which school our children attends. We have only had positive experiences at this school. The school is very diverse and I feel that is a true reflection of the High School she will attend. The teachers and staff are outstanding and supportive. I am a true believer that the school is only as good as the class your child is in and we have only experienced great teachers. Yes the average test score is lower than those in our are however since our children all fall in advanced classes, these lower test scores has not affected them. In fact they have all scored higher than both the county and state. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
