Here are a couple of quotes from the school reviews:

I have three children–one is already in college and two are currently students at the school. We have had a very positive experience at SFHS. Each one of my children has either followed the IB or AP curriculum. I am a former high school math teacher myself (from the North) and believe my children are receiving an excellent educational experience. The school also offers an abundance of extra curricular activities that have truly enriched their education.

As a parent of a past and current HS student, I feel the school could do more for the students with IEP’s with tutoring like having a tutoring labs for the students. It is nice they have IB or AP curriculums but IEP student [need] more special help.

South Forsyth High School also has an official website. Also, Forsyth County is redistricting every couple of years to try to keep up with the growth of the area. There is more info about their redistricting plans here.
