When I first heard Forest Hills was going to uniforms I wasn't all that happy about it either. I have 3 children in that school. HOWEVER, when we started shopping, wow, what a difference in the amount we had to spend. My children wear their uniforms everyday to school and sometimes out if need be. They have plenty of other nice things to wear but THEY choose to wear the uniforms to the point I have had to institute a no uniform policy outside of school as the clothes where wearing out too fast! It is very nice to walk into the school and see the kids walking down the halls and everyone looks nice and so handsome or pretty. Girls are not wearing inappropriately short skirts or shorts. The boys are not wearing their pants/shorts down around their ankles either!! It is a very nice clean look! If you are worried about price - Penney's usually has a good sale online as well as Kohl's. Walmart usually has good prices as well however I have found it difficult to find uniforms there on many occasions. There are affordable ones you just have to be willing to look for them!
