Forest Hills Elementary serves first through fifth grade students. We are currently a Choice School due to making Adequate Yearly Progress for two consecutive years.

The Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) is given to our third, fourth, and fifth grade students in the spring of each year. The information received from this test is used to provide an improvement rating and our adequate yearly progress on our school report card issued by the State Department of Education.

Our second through fifth grade students take the Measures of Academic Progress test (MAP) two times a year. This state aligned computerized adaptive tests provide parents and teachers with information on each student’s skills and concepts they have learned. MAP diagnoses instructional needs and monitors academic growth over time. The data received from MAP can also be used to make decisions in the classrooms as to how to meet the needs of all of our students.

All of the staff members at Forest Hills work hard to ensure that our students are provided the best possible education available. The Forest Hills faculty, staff, and parents meet monthly for School Improvement, Title I, and Parent Teacher Organization meetings. All of our parents or community members are encouraged to become involved in our school by attending our meetings or being a volunteer at FHE. We all need to work together to make Forest Hills a great place to learn!
