Forsyth
County had a population was 98,407 as of year 2000.
Forbes.com
named it as the 55th
richest county in the US
for 2008. Forsyth
County maintains a large percentage of new homeowners. Due to rapid
suburban sprawl and skyrocketing housing prices in neighboring
Fulton County a large number of affluent professionals have moved
into the county since 1987; the county's population has roughly
tripled since that time. Over 60% of the current population either
lived elsewhere or had not been born yet in 1987.
In 2006 Forsyth County had been in the top ten
fastest growing counties of the united States for several years.
Many new subdivisions with elegant houses have been constructed,
several around world class golf courses. Close to Atlanta and the
Blue Ridge mountains the area has attracted many of the Metro area's
new residents. Shopping continues to expand as the subdivisions fill
in the county.
The public school system is Forsyth County's
largest employer (4,000 employees) and is an integral part of the
community. It has experienced great growth over the past decade and
is now home to 31,000 students in 30 schools. It is projected by
2013 to grow to over 50,000 students. Classrooms are
technologically-advanced, as the school system places a heavy
emphasis on being on the cutting edge of new technology and methods
of teaching. Five schools are scheduled to open in 2009, including
the fifth high school, Lambert. Ten new schools are projected to
open by 2013, among them the sixth high school, East Forsyth. There
are currently four high schools in Forsyth County: Forsyth Central
(Bulldogs), North Forsyth (Raiders)South Forsyth (War Eagles), and
the newest, West Forsyth (Wolverines).
Recreation
on Lake Lanier, a 37,000-acre Army Corp of Engineers lake, on the
east side of the county is enjoyed by many residents and attracts
non-residents seasonally.
