East Forsyth High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for African American and Hispanic students much lower than for White and multi-racial students, indicating achievement gaps. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (53.23% in 2022-2023) also suggests that a significant portion of the student population faces socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. When compared to nearby schools, such as Robert B. Glenn High School and Walkertown High, East Forsyth High generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores and rankings.
