Forest Trail AcademyReviews of foresttrailacademy.com

In high school, my daughter needs a little more support on how to do difficult subjects like geometry & chemistry. It would be nice if the teacher could post a video showing how to solve in each chapter. Other than that, everything is great.

We used the Forrest Trail Academy Curriculum for a short period, however utilized other systems as well. We found the material had good objectives and course content. Our daughter finished her high school studies through another course program however. I would recommend Forrest Trail Academy.

An awesome online school option that is perfect for my family!

Very helpful.

My HS kid took one class of AP Calc with forest trail. Felt that the material formatting could use uniformity. Explanations could have used more examples and more steps within the forest trail material. I did have to pay for extending class from 6 month (which is called a full year class). Student self pace is the key. Overall the experience was a good one. Signup was easy and grades online keep student updated. System Administrators were quick. Instructor was fantastic. Cared about student, explained each questions answered and made herself available for teacher consultation. The system will update the parent upon a new submittal and the assessment grade of an assignment which is fantastic. Again student pace is key since there are no due dates excerpt the end of course time date. This was the first time a student from my kids school has used forest trial. Great alternative when school does not have class available. Felt also that student has the opportunity to leave their “neighborhood environment” to experience a national level experience. My student felt he was more prepared for the AP exam via Forest Trail than before.

Overall I loved the way the school had everything set up online. Easy to upload tests and assignments. Nice that parents and children could email teachers. Good communication between all parties. Only down falls were the price and some of the work load was a little heavy. They were having 6th and 7th graders doing 1000 word reports. That's kinda extreme to me.

I am currently in grade 10 and Forest trail academy is great! They've taught me many things and have a wide array of electives to choose from, the timetable is flexible, and the teachers are friendly and helpful and the school is also great for international students who seek an American education.

The school does prepare you for college and if there is a problem with a site or anything that comes up they do help you fix it quickly. Sometimes the material the teachers gives you doesn’t go with the assignments so you have to try and figure it out on your own!
