Forest Hills Schools Named Top High Schools in Nation

Forest Hills Schools Named Top High Schools in Nation

Forest Hills Eastern, Northern and Central High Schools have been

named top high schools in the nation by Newsweek in a report on

public schools in America. Located east of the city of Grand Rapids,

Forest Hills Public School District is one of the top rated schools in

the state and the nation.

fheasternhs_thumb.jpg

The high schools in the study were judged on college preparedness,

participation in college level classes,  advanced placement classes,

international baccalaureate programs, and acceptance into two

and four year college programs.

 

Although only the high schools were rated in this article, all of 

Forest Hills Public Schools strive for academic excellence for

all their students.

 

If you are considering locating in the Forest Hills District,

give Terry a call.  He knows the area well and has sold and closed

countless Forest Hills homes, from starter homes to executive enclaves.
