Admission Requirements
According to FHPS Board Policy, to be eligible for admission, students must be enrolled and maintain enrollment in Forest Hills Public Schools by September of fourth grade. The exception to this rule is a student that becomes a Forest Hills Public Schools resident and enrolls in Forest Hills Public Schools between September 1 and January 31 of their fourth grade year.
As GES is a district-wide magnet school, at the end of the two-year program, students will return to the middle school that corresponds with the current elementary school they are attending.
