North Forest High School is a secondary school located in Houston, Texas, United States. The school is a part of the North Forest Independent School District. It consists of a main campus and a ninth grade center.[1] The Ninth Grade Center is in the former Oak Village Middle School,[2] and it shares the campus with YES Prep North Forest.[3]

Originally the school, founded in 2008 as a consolidation of Forest Brook High School at 7525 Tidwell Road and M. B. Smiley High School on Mesa Drive, was located on the campus of the former Forest Brook campus.[4]

The Smiley campus was built in 1953, the Oak Village campus was built in 1967, and the Forest Brook campus was built in 1972.[5] In September of that year Hurricane Ike hit Houston and Forest Brook received damage. Therefore the school was relocated to the former Smiley campus.[6]

In a six year period until 2011, North Forest High was consistently ranked "academically unacceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[7]

In the 2010-2011 school year NFISD opened the Ninth Grade Center at the former Oak Village Middle School campus. The Ninth Grade Center houses newly-arrived ninth graders. People repeating the ninth grade attend the main campus of North Forest High School.[8]

As of 2011 North Forest High has a school uniform standard dress policy.

The Jones Cowart Stadium is on the property of NFHS.[9]
