School Reviews
5 5/9/2026
I am always surprised at how much I enjoy Forcey Christian School. Its students, parents, and the administration are all what I am seeking in a school. The academics are great. The spiritual formation or the discipleship is great for my 1st grader.
5 1/12/2022
Elementary school was fine I guess but... once I got to middle school (especially online) I literally went insane. some of the teachers are just so terrible and I'm confused why they haven't been fired. I do have some good memories though, and some of my closest friends were from this school.
