Forest Hills Consolidated School is a Title I public school that is part of the RSU 82/MSAD 12 school district, located in Jackman, ME with about 147 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, Forest Hills Consolidated School has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Forest Hills Consolidated School, located in the rural community of Jackman, Maine, serves as the primary educational hub for the surrounding region.
