Forest Municipal School District


Summary:

The Forest Municipal School District operates three schools serving grades K-12: Forest Elementary School, Hawkins Middle School, and Forest High School. Unfortunately, the data reveals that all three schools in the district are performing well below state averages on academic measures, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The student population across the district is predominantly minority, with high percentages of African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, 100% of students at each school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. Spending per student is below the state average, and student-teacher ratios are relatively high, suggesting potential resource allocation challenges within the district.

Overall, the Forest Municipal School District appears to be facing systemic issues that are negatively impacting student achievement. Addressing the consistent underperformance, socioeconomic challenges, and resource allocation imbalances will be crucial for improving the quality of education provided to students in this area. A comprehensive review and improvement plan may be necessary to help the district better support its students and provide them with the opportunities they deserve.
