Summary:
The Fortuna Elementary school district in California serves students from elementary through middle school, with four schools in its portfolio. While the district faces some challenges, a few schools stand out in their academic performance.
Norman G. Ambrosini Elementary is the top-performing school in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. However, the school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate. Toddy Thomas Middle is the highest-performing middle school, excelling in ELA/Literacy and Science, though its Mathematics proficiency lags behind.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools having high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the district's performance on statewide assessments is significantly lower than the state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address equity concerns across the Fortuna Elementary district.
