Teaching staff is top notch
"Outstanding high school! My daughter is a Sophomore at WFHS and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience at the school. The extra-curricular programs are outstanding and the teaching staff is top-notch."
A school that felt like home
"The best year of my life was spent here. There was a lot I would improve on if I was in the position to do so, but over all it was a school that felt like home. The teachers I had were phenomenal and their drama, chorus and performing arts programs are through the roof amazing. I wish every day I could go back and do it all again!"
Prepared both my daughters for college
"Nice school, great location and my daughters both went directly to the college they wanted after they graduated. Like any school you get out what you put in...from a parents point of view it's safe, has great teachers and prepared my daughters for college. They both got early accepts from GT and UGA. I say this school did what it should. Prepare kids for the next step!"
High quality teachers who care
"This is a great school with highly qualified teachers who care about their students. I've had great experiences in my interactions with them and with the administration."

WEST FORSYTH MIDDLE SCHOOLS
Vickery Creek Middle
Vickery Creek Middle opened in 1999 and its first principal was Ms. Toni Eubank. The school opened with 700 students from Otwell Middle, which was over student capacity. It was named after the community, Vickery Creek, in which it is located.
In 2016, Vickery Creek Middle School ranked better than 99.1% of middle schools in Georgia. It also ranked 3rd among 9 ranked middle schools in the Forsyth County School District.
"Both of my children attend VCMS, we live very closeby and we have found the faculty and the administration to be of the highest caliber. I attended private schools with small classes because the public schools were too full, but I must say that things have changed as VCMS has smaller classes and better teachers than I saw in private schools. In this district it is silly to pay for private schools when the state is offering the same for taxes you'll pay anyway. It is really a fine school."
"As a parent of a rising 6th grader I fell nothing but concern.. After one year, I can tell that I am SO GLAD my son is in this school. They have AWESOME administrators, staff and teachers!!!!"
DeSana Middle
Our vision? Simply put:
· Inspire Ingenuity!
· Explore Possibilities!
· Embrace New Opportunities!
· Establish Excellence!
· And Thrive!
We are a school with a rich legacy, named after a remarkable couple in the Forsyth community, Jim and Jeanne DeSana. The DeSanas were highly talented community members who were extraordinarily passionate about helping young people be successful. For thirty plus years, they gave of their time . . . their talents . . . their leadership . . . expertise . . . intellect . . . and their monetary resources . . . all for the betterment of young people in our great community.
Liberty Middle
Liberty Middle opened in 2002, with Dr. Cindy Styles-Salloum as the school's first principal. It was built to help alleviate student overcrowding at North Forsyth and Otwell middle schools. To recognize the lives lost in the series of four coordinated attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the community recommended Liberty as the name of the new school. Liberty is defined as the power and resources to act to fulfill one's own potential."
Liberty's Mission/Vision Statement: Together, Patriots revolutionize, create synergy, transform the world and leave our legacy!
Living up to our mission means that failure is not an option. In order for all students to be successful, they must be active participants in their own learning and be committed to achieving to their highest potential. The Liberty staff is committed to their role in the success of all students. After reflecting on the first semester, we found that meeting our mission requires that some changes be made during the second semester. In order for students to achieve to their highest potential, they must:
-
Participate in their classroom assignments and complete the work.
-
Complete and return homework every time, on time.
-
Make up missed assignments when absent.
Students must be aware of the fact that at Liberty, failure is not an option. They need to know that doing their best work at all times is how they become successful. We appreciate your support in the expectation that your child will achieve success.
"This school is amazing! This is my first year at liberty and I love it. I love how close nit the community is at this school. I think this would be great for any student that is coming to Liberty. Just remember that the teachers here are expecting great things from you and no slacking! In the end you will come out a lot better than you came in!"
""I have had two children go through Liberty Middle School. Overall: The teachers are great and really care about the kids and the office staff is friendly and helpful. I would agree with some of the negative critiques of the iTeam program, however, I will say that some kids learn better in this environment as it is a different approach to teaching. The extra-curricular programs are very good as well."
"Outstanding! We've had excellent teachers throughout our Liberty experience. Challenging excellerated/advanced programs as well as autism services. ITeam program promotes camaraderie, team spirit, and discipline that is missing in most schools these days."

"The school works really hard to match each child with the teacher that will best help them learn and love learning. Even though the school is a lot larger than what we as parents grew up with, there is a small school feel to it. Our children feel very cared for and are known personally. The level of education has been excellent, problems have been addressed and the teachers have made themselves very available to us as parents."

His family made the land donation to serve as a reminder for Mr. Whitlow's love of his land and his love of children.
Whitlow Pledge: I will not waste this day. I will try my best, in all I do and say. I can do it! I believe in me. I am part of the Whitlow family.
"I have had 2 children "graduate" from Whitlow Elementary school and both continue success in Middle school and one in High School this year. The teachers are phenomenal and very dedicated to the students and communicative with the parents. This school gives a very small community feel even though it's part of such a large district. The teachers make this school great and give our children tremendous educational foundation to build on." - a parent"
"What a GREAT school !! The teachers really care about the students. The school has great test scores. My experience is that the homework is not overly taxing. Some nights more than other - but overall reasonable. The admin is caring and responsive both to students and parents. It's a very program rich school - there are lots of resources to motivate and allow your child to be involved. From art and science fairs to additional help afterschool - this school has it all!!"
Sawnee Elementary

It is named after Sawnee Mountain, a five mile ridge in Forsyth County that was named for a local Cherokee that helped whites adjust to his native land. The Sawnee campus operated divided between a primary and elementary school for many years. In 2001 the original building was demolished, which was replaced with a new building in 2002. The primary and elementary schools were combined into one elementary school in 2007.
Vision Statement: Investing in the future by preparing students today.
Mission Statement: Sawnee Elementary creates an engaging learning environment which is student centered, enriched by all staff, and nurtured by home and community.
"As a parent, this school has been very good. My children have excelled in class and the teachers have given them specialized attention in area when necessary. They are constantly keeping in touch with parents via emails and notes home regarding activities happening in class and at the school. When we first moved here from out of state, the principal was happy to speak with us about our children. Overall this school has been great."
"Both my children have grown up at Sawnee and we couldn't be happier. Loving teachers, excellent academics and wonderful family activities. Great special education services."
"My child's two teachers (she's in 5th grade) are two of the best teachers I have ever seen. I had actually requested that she be placed in her homeroom teacher's room, and we were thrilled when we found out that he would be her teacher this year! He teaches her Math and Science, and because of him, her grades have been excellent. And her teacher for ELA and Social studies is exceptional. Brilliant teacher, very creative and engaging who is close to being finished with her PhD. Plus both of them have excellent control of their classrooms (not an easy task, I know). But everyone, and I mean everyone, we work with from the school nurse, office support staff, Assistant Principal and the building maintenance staff ALL want the absolute best for my child. I wish we had moved to Forsyth County years ago just so we could have come to Sawnee Elementary sooner!"
