Summary:
The 95436 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the elementary school, Forestville Elementary, appears to be performing reasonably well, the middle school, Forestville Academy, and the high school, Laguna High, are struggling academically.
Forestville Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school shows some strengths, with 4th and 5th-grade students performing better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA). In contrast, Laguna High has performed very poorly, ranking in the bottom half of California high schools and receiving a 0-star rating. The school has alarmingly low proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science, with only 7.69% of 11th-grade students proficient in ELA and 0% proficient in Math and Science.
The data also reveals high chronic absenteeism rates at both Forestville Academy (29.1%) and Laguna High (87.2%), as well as a concerning dropout rate of 11.9% at Laguna High. These issues suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic challenges faced by these schools, which serve economically disadvantaged communities as indicated by the high percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients.
