Forest Hills High School (FHHS) is a high school in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City. Dedicated in 1937,[2] it educates students in grades 9–12 and is operated by the New York City Department of Education. The school serves students from Forest Hills and Rego Park, as well as other nearby Queens neighborhoods such as Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Jamaica, Kew Gardens, Maspeth, Middle Village, and Woodside.

FHHS has often been extremely overcrowded throughout its history, often running several overlapping sessions. Traditionally, a large percentage of FHHS graduates have gone on to attend colleges.[3]

The school is a recipient of the silver medal from U.S. News & World Report's list of the best high schools in the nation.[4]
