We put our oldest through private school and our youngest through FL. It is amazing that we can have such an amazing school in our district for free!

Do NOT let the 3/10 “score” deter you from considering or attending Forest Lake elementary. The score is hooey and does not take into consideration so many things. I and others gladly drive 15 to 20 minutes for our kids to attend this school. Each year both magnets have a waitlist. You would be lucky to attend Forest Lake.

My husband and I are not from the Columbia area, so we looked at public and private school options. We found the ELC magnet at Forest Lake and the other magnet options in District 2 provided the most academically challenging environment for our daughter while also allowing her to learn among a diverse student body. We love the school and many of our friends commute each day from Blythewood, Lake carolina, and Woodcreek Farms to go to school here!

GreatSchools Ratings are based on student performance on state tests, progress over time, and college readiness, in addition to how effectively schools serve students from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average). Ratings and reviews help parents compare schools. We encourage parents to also visit schools, ask questions, learn about programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process. Data provided by © 2025. All rights reserved.
