Forestville Academy

Summary:

Forestville Academy is a public charter middle school serving grades 2-8 in Forestville, CA, with 170 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 17-19. The school is part of the Forestville Union Elementary School District, which is ranked 1072 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Forestville Academy faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 11.1% in 2018-2019 to 29.5% in 2020-2021, well above the state average and most nearby schools. The school's test scores on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science are consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 38.85% of students proficient or better in ELA and 21.13% in Math in 2023-2024, compared to 47.04% and 35.54% statewide, respectively. Forestville Academy also struggles with significant achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, with its White students ranking in the bottom 10% of California middle schools and its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students ranking in the bottom 15%.

Forestville Academy's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 25% of California middle schools in 2009-2010 to the bottom 15% in recent years. The school lags behind many nearby middle schools, such as Rincon Valley Middle, Healdsburg Junior High, and Twin Hills Charter Middle, across multiple measures. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch eligibility, and achievement gaps for certain subgroups may be crucial for improving student outcomes at Forestville Academy.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
