A connected K–12 progression anchored by Central High School.
Understanding the Forest Hills Central attendance area
The Forest Hills Central attendance area is one of three school communities within Forest Hills Public Schools. It is anchored by Central High School and includes a connected progression of elementary, 5/6, and middle-school buildings.
For real estate purposes, Central is an attendance assignment rather than a municipality or neighborhood. Buyers may encounter Central-assigned homes in more than one township, so the property's legal municipality, immediate neighborhood, and current school assignment should be evaluated separately.
This guide provides the district's current school-area structure, but it does not replace official address verification. Confirm any home directly with Forest Hills Public Schools before relying on an assignment.
Real Estate Context
A Central assignment is one factor in a home's market context, not a substitute for township and neighborhood analysis. Compare recent sales within the same immediate area and property type, then verify the current assignment before making an offer.
Attendance boundaries can change. Confirm a property's current Central assignment directly with Forest Hills Public Schools at (616) 493-8800.
