Forest Trail Academy is Excellent Forest Trail Academy is an excellent alternative to the traditional public school. My daughter has special needs and could not advance academically at the public school. Since enrolling at Forest Trail Academy, she is working at grade level and truly enjoys doing school work. Being able to work at her pace has been beneficial in helping her grasp new concepts. She also benefits from the one on one time we have while she is doing school work. I definitely recommend Forest Trail Academy.

Our son competed ninth and tenth grade… Success: Our son competed ninth and tenth grade with Forest Trail Academy. He then transferred to Running Start at our local community college. When he took the placement test, he was able to advance into college classes due to the excellent currulum he had completed with FTA. FTA taught hm effective study skills to succeed. He has now graduated with his high school diploma and AA degree.

FTA isn't worth the money. I think most of these reviews were written by staff or owner. This is a self pace school, which is nice depending on what you're looking for. My son was assigned a teacher, but there's no contact with her or anything. I'm the teacher. They had an issue where the systems were down and my son wasn't able to do any work for two days, the school failed to notify me. When I called to inquire about what was going on, I was met with attitude and disrespect by Ken, the admissions associate. Ken explained he was upset about the system issues as well and that's why he was yelling at me, the consumer. He apologized for his tone, but continued to address me the same disrespectful way. I still don't understand why he had the right to be mad, when I was the one being cheated out of time and money. I reported him and haven't heard anything back yet. My son has already been accepted into another school next year and I can't wait to be done with FTA. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! There are better options for online education than FTA.

I have found Forest trails to be… I have found Forest trails to be extremely reliable and lighting quick to respond to any questions we have even if we are abroad. My son has had a positive first time experience with online education and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for learning at their own speed however fast or slow that may be. My sons grades have improved immensely since he has started this program. Highly recommended

If you have an independent high…home schooled athlete If you have an independent high schooler, our experience was reasonably well. Teachers responded to parents questions, as did front office, or technical support. Some of the curriculum course work seems not to be connected to subject, ie: writing an essays for math that do no correlate to course work. Some of the work seems redundant. Having said that, I did a lot of research before I signed up and I knew going into this that out of so many other online HS, this seemed to be a good choice for our budget. We did one semester and will continue with this program as it does fit for a homeschooled athlete.
