Overview
Forest Hills High School is a New York State public high school listed in the New York State Education Department (NYSED) data system. The NYSED profile identifies the school by institution ID 800000042136 and BEDS code 342800011440, with Paul Wilbur listed as principal and the official website at https://www.fhhsweb.org [1]. The school serves grades 9 through 12, based on NYSED enrollment counts for the 2024–25 school year [3].
The retrieved NYSED excerpts do not include a street address or borough, so this profile does not state a campus location beyond New York State. A separate school with the same name operates in Marshville, North Carolina, and serves students in Union County Public Schools [2]. Information about that North Carolina school should not be applied to the New York school.
Location and School Identity
The official name in the NYSED record is Forest Hills High School. The record lists a telephone number of (718) 268-3137 and a website at https://www.fhhsweb.org [1]. The BEDS code 342800011440 and institution ID 800000042136 are the identifiers readers can use when searching state data sources [1].
Because the supplied sources do not state the school’s street address or New York City borough, readers should confirm the campus location through the school’s official website or the New York State Education Department directory. The NYSED enrollment page notes that its counts are collected through the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) and are as of BEDS Day, typically the first Wednesday in October [3].
Grades and Academic Programs
Forest Hills High School serves grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. NYSED’s 2024–25 enrollment report shows students in each of those grades, with an additional ungraded secondary category [3]. The school is classified in NYSED data with a four-year graduation rate and a Local Support and Improvement status [1].
The supplied sources do not list specific academic programs, Advanced Placement courses, career and technical education pathways, or extracurricular activities for this school. Readers should consult the official school website for current program offerings and course catalogs. General descriptions of New York State high school programs should not be assumed to apply to this school without confirmation from the school or district.
Enrollment and School Data
The following figures come from NYSED’s enrollment report for the 2024–25 school year, collected as of BEDS Day [3]. They describe the school’s student population at that point in time and should not be read as current for later years.
- Total K–12 enrollment: 3,397
- Grade 9: 834 (25%)
- Grade 10: 857 (25%)
- Grade 11: 862 (25%)
- Grade 12: 837 (25%)
- Male: 1,693 (50%)
- Female: 1,702 (50%)
- Non-binary: 2
Enrollment by ethnicity was reported as: American Indian or Alaska Native, 26 (1%); Black or African American, 242 (7%); Hispanic or Latino, 1,388 (41%); Asian or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, 860 (25%); White, 804 (24%); and Multiracial, 77 [3].
Other reported groups included 388 English language learners (11%), 503 students with disabilities (15%), 2,470 economically disadvantaged students (73%), 251 migrant homeless students (7%), 8 students in foster care, and 18 students with a parent in the armed forces [3]. NYSED suppresses counts for English language learners, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students when the subgroup count equals total enrollment or is fewer than five; the published figures above are those shown in the retrieved report [3].
The NYSED profile also references a four-year graduation rate and school climate indicators, but the retrieved excerpt does not include the values for those measures [1]. This profile therefore does not report a graduation rate, attendance rate, or suspension rate.
Admissions and Enrollment
The supplied NYSED records do not describe admissions criteria, application deadlines, or enrollment procedures for Forest Hills High School. Families should verify current requirements with the school’s official website and the relevant local public school admissions office. Attending a school in a particular location does not by itself establish eligibility, and the retrieved sources do not confirm an attendance boundary for this school.
Student Services and Family Information
NYSED’s 2024–25 enrollment report shows that Forest Hills High School enrolled students in several groups that may be associated with support services, including English language learners, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students, homeless students, students in foster care, and students with a parent in the armed forces [3]. These figures describe student populations; they do not confirm that any specific service, program, or accommodation is available. Families should contact the school directly for information about language support, special education services, counseling, transportation, and other resources.
History and Community Context
The retrieved sources do not include a founding date, historical milestones, or community context for Forest Hills High School. This profile omits those details rather than speculate.
How to Verify Current Information
For official school information, readers can consult the school website at https://www.fhhsweb.org [1]. For state records, the NYSED profile page for Forest Hills High School is available at https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000042136 [1], and the 2024–25 enrollment report is at https://data.nysed.gov/enrollment.php?instid=800000042136 [3]. Because enrollment, programs, leadership, and admissions rules can change, readers should confirm details with the school or the appropriate New York State or local education authority.
