Choose Forest Park
Forest Park Middle School pairs strong academics with real opportunities to create, compete, lead, and explore what comes next. Students can move from honors coursework to gaming, music technology, broadcast journalism, engineering, TSA, athletics, fine arts, and more — while belonging to a house community designed to make middle school feel connected, not anonymous.
Technology That Goes Beyond Screen Time 👩💻
Forest Park gives middle schoolers early access to gaming, game development, music technology, broadcast journalism, Project Lead The Way, TSA, HVAC, and agriculture. Students are not just consuming technology; they are producing, designing, building, communicating, and competing with it.
National Results in TSA ⚙️
Forest Park students competed against more than 10,000 students at the 2026 National TSA Conference and returned with two third-place national finishes plus additional Top 10 placements. For families interested in STEM, leadership, and competition, Forest Park already has proof on the national stage.
Every Student Has A House 🏘️
Every Forest Park student belongs to one of four Ron Clark houses. House meetings, competitions, shared expectations, and adult encouragement give students a smaller community inside the larger middle school — with built-in opportunities to practice teamwork, communication, responsibility, and school pride.
Support That Meets Students Where They Are 👩👦
Forest Park layers support around students through co-taught classes, resources and structured learning, emergent bilingual aides, ESL classes, counseling, Communities In Schools, and social-emotional supports. Families should see a campus designed to notice needs early and connect students with the right adults.
