I have had 3 kids so far at this school. The teachers are phenomenal and I believe they work their hardest with an ever changing population of students to ensure the best learning for each one! I think this is the most 'real' school in Eden Prairie and I am so happy we are in this school's boundary!

Forest Hills has a great staff that is truly dedicated to teaching all kids. They do a great job of individualizing instruction to meet the needs of students. My daughter is doing exceptionally well there. Parent involvement could be improved, but I believe that is due to the fact that many of the parents work. That is a parent issue rather than the fault of the school. The after-school programs offered to teach golf, art appreciation, yoga etc. are fun and educational and FREE. The new Reading Counts Program is sensational. I think the school should be applauded for its efforts. The school has lower scores because the other schools in the surrounding area have wealthier families---and that does not mean those schools are better. They just have kids that are going to naturally do better regardless. You cannot compare schools by test scores alone unless you've seen it first hand.

Exceptionally poorly managed school. Many students are unprepared for school and require discipline, and low parent participation The school board answers to the superintendent. Forest Hills' academic scores are far below area schools in Eden Prairie, Edin, Minnetonka have been sliding since Melisa Krull became the superintendent.
