Forest Hills Michigan - Home to a Growing Public School District
We just received the Superintendant's News Letter with all the Forest
Hills Public School news. Of course, there was talk of budget challenges
and difficult times. Even school districts that are well-funded, like Forest
Hills Public, are having budget issues because of state funding reductions.
Forest Hills is focused on student education, and is still reducing
administrative overhead. 76.7% of the school budget is spent on
classroom and instructional support.
2009 Forest Hills School News:
- 3 Teachers recognized on state & national levels for excellence

We moved into this school district 33 years ago, both of our children went
to Forest Hills schools and got an excellent education. If you are considering a
