"Forest Park High School is by far the greatest
public high school in Baltimore City I have ever
been to, and I say this because I am currently
enrolled as a student (Junior) at FPHS. Forest
Park isn't as dangerous as people proclaim. Forest
Park has a good working environment and the students
there are very easy to get along with. Most us
students are serious about learning. Our teachers
are very dedicated to their job. Don't blame the
school for some of the student's behavior."

"Forest Park has wonderful educators however
they are forced to work in a system and with many
students that aren't serious about education.
The value of education is compromised to where
the kids aren't prepare for life after high school.
The athletic programs lack any accountability.
The only sport that receives any resources is
football and sometimes basketball. The other sports
are neglected to harsh terms and the student-athletes
are the ones that suffer. The Forest Park coaching
staff lacks expertise of the sport with the exception
to football. The school environment is not condusive
to learning. It is dark, unsafe and not clean.
Many of the educators would not send their children
to this school. Throw away the budget and focus
on educating students and then we can get back
to where education (high school) means something.

"My child is currently a sophomore at FPHS.
The school is okay. Way too many students are
hanging out at the 'chickenbox joints' during
school hours. This needs to be looked into. My
child constantly complains about the principal
Mrs. Breese, and I believe that they do need new
leadership. This school has so much potential.
Hopefully in a few years FPHS will be a better
educational institution."

"My time at Forest Park High School, turned
out to be some of the best years of my life. Those
years in particular, shaped and molded me to become
the person I am today. Thank God, for all the
wonderful teachers and friends whom I met in my
stay there. I would not trade the education I
recieved there, for anything. "

"When I attend Forest Park I was eagered
to learn from the teachers. They also tried to
keep out of trouble, so they did the best that
they could. I also ran track, play soccer, and
I was on the wrestling and baseball team. Forest
Park is one of the best schools that I attended.
Class of 2002."

"I am a former student at Forest Park. When
I was attending Forest Park I could honestly say
that I had a very pleasant stay there. The school
was so comfortable and I felt right at home. The
people were so friendly and it was very easy to
make friends. The teachers were eager to teach
and the students were very eager to learn. The
discipline level at ForestPark was very high.
The students listens very well.The school has
so many extracurriculum activities that your child
will never get bored. When I attended FP, I ran
track and field,danced,played Volleyball,and I
joined the very first drama club the school has
had. I enjoyed my stay and I wish that I could
go back there. "

"This outstanding public High School graduated
many famous (and infamous) students. Its many
outstanding teachers were largely responsible
for the student body's oustanding scholarship,
as well as its leadership qualities. To top it
off, the castle-like structire cover with ivy
looked exactly like some high school taken right
out of an Andy Hardy movie. Those of us students
who had the privilege of attending FP in its prime
were truly blessed (though only in retrospect
does this become obvious). "
