Forest Academy, Kalamazoo | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

i went to forest academy from 2nd grade through 8th grade (2013-19).there were many problems with bullying, the staff didn’t take action unless the parents got involved. when i was in 7th grade, there was yogurt on the cafeteria wall for months. the lunch lady was rude, and the food gave children food poisoning multiple times. the education provided was nothing of value compared to regular public schools education. the bathrooms were rarely ever cleaned, there would be nasty stuff on the walls for days, if not weeks, at a time. the staff would lock children in a bare room that they called the “quiet room” of the child was acting out or having a meltdown. the quiet room wasn’t even sound proof. many of the staff members were rude, and they would befriend certain students, which they would have a bias in favor of, regardless of how bad that kid acted. there was issues with kids stealing from each other’s lockers and desks, and they went unpunished. the former principal Brown was a bit too friendly with the “trouble makers” who were often sent to her office. Watters, former vice principal, was also nice to the kids who would act out, but rude the the kids she wasn’t “friends” with. when i was in 6th grade, one of my classmates was isolated from the rest of our class because she asked another student an inappropriate question about her relationship with her boyfriend.
in conclusion, mid staff, L school, annoying students, and poor management.
i would recommend that you send your children to any other school.

No organization at all.
Director seems to not know or care what’s going on.
