Forest Heights Academy of Excellence is an academic/visual & performing arts magnet school.  Our school serves students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.   This academic magnet program offers a student-centered curriculum in an atmosphere where each child develops academically, physically, socially and emotionally.  The school emphasizes a strong core-curriculum with opportunity for development of individual needs and talents using varied teaching styles and strategies.  

Our Arts Program is an integral part of the curriculum.  This program includes art, dance, drama, instrumental and vocal music.  We also provide instruction in Creative Writing and Spanish.

Forest Heights Academy of Excellence is very excited to have been named a 2008 No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon School.  This award recognizes our efforts to ensure that every child learns and no child is left behind.  The Blue Ribbon School distinction award is the highest honor the federal government bestows on schools throughout the country.

For a public school to win, student achievement must be in the top 10 percent on state standardized tests or at least 40 percent of the school's population, from disadvantaged backgrounds, must dramatically improve on those tests.  We will be honored at an awards ceremony in Washington D. C. in October hosted by the United States Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings. 

Our students have been able to visit with educators from the Lee Richardson Zoo in Kansas, NASA and the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.  In October we will participate in the Louisiana Read For The Record Project.   Several grades will enjoyed listening to guest readers from other schools in the Baton Rouge area and other parts of the state.
