    Terrible school

    This school is absolutely terrible. The management are absolutely horrible and don’t even attempt to listen to what their students have to say. The teacher turn a blind eye to the students often in the wrong and pick on the ones who are right. Absolutely terrible education too

    The Worst in Edinburgh

    Absolutely horrendous school with dumb students and teachers who give up on even trying to teach as a result. Ranked the worst out of all Edinburgh high schools in students who achieve 5 highers at a measly 13%. Parents, avoid sending your children here at all costs.

    Hated it there.

    Fuck this place! Really bad environment for queer and mentally ill students, little to no help and ignores bulling.

    forrester high school review

    pretty nice system for overall but i think it’s the same in every school, the principal is really nice and chill and his co-workers are okay. would give it average beside the fact they let people skip you everywhere, the support teachers never help with your problems/ drama and teachers either really really strict or don’t teach anything. would I recommend it? im in s3 and im moving schools soon because of my relationships there but probably yes just be cautious.<3

    good bar one thing

    good school ig ,, not allowed to go to the toilets during class at all though , which is really stupid , considering girls may really need to go , and not want to tell a male teacher , other than that though it’s pretty good :)
