My daughter just started at SFHS (Aug. 09) as a freshman and LOVES IT. She wants to go in early and stay late! Her teachers and classmates are competitive and encourage her to strive for excellence. SFHS used to be crowded due to the rapid growth of this area, but with the opening of a new high school they were able to remove all of the trailer classrooms that used to fill the parking lot. Is it the best school in the nation? No, but they did rank 371st on Nesweek's recent list of top 1500 high schools in the nation, making the list for the third year in a row. Forsyth County also had the highest avg ACT scores (2008/09) for high school districts in Georgia, with South Forsyth HS leading the group.
We love this high school. Coming from California we didn't know what to expect. I would rate east bay San Francisco 5 and south forsyth a 9 out of 10. The teachers are extremely accomodating all having much more than just a teaching certificate many with bachelor and master and doctorate degrees. My daughters can't believe how much better the schools are here compared to Northern California

As a parent of a past and current HS student, I feel the school could do more for the students with IEP's with tutoring like having a tutoring labs for the students. It is nice they have IB or AP curriculums but IEP student [need] more special help.
