About This School
On September 5, 1995, Forest Oak Middle School, the most recent addition to the Gaithersburg High School Cluster, opened on Midcounty Highway. In September of 1999, we relocated to a new building on Saybrooke Oaks Boulevard. As part of the move, we brought our excellent staff and terrific students with us.
Forest Oak Middle School continues to be a special place. The staff is dedicated to developing a "true" middle school of interdisciplinary teams where students are involved in a wide variety of educational opportunities. As much as possible, we connect all instructional disciplines and strive to meet each student's individual educational needs. All this is done in a safe, orderly, and positive environment.
Serving approximately 800 students in grades 6 through 8, we have as one of our goals the development of a strong home-school partnership. Staff, students, and parents work together as a team to make Forest Oak an outstanding school.
