I'm a military kid with 11 moves, and four high schools under my belt. Forest Park is very clean, and I didn't see a single fight there this whole year. I will admit that some of the rules are a little bit over the top, but I would rather have rules that are a little bit too much, than gang activity, and drug use in the school. FP isn't my favorite school, but it is definitely the best public school I've been to. Only DoDDs schools can beat it. Close Quote
