Summary

Forest Lake Elementary School in Deltona, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 571 students in grades PK through 5 within the Volusia district, where about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Forest Lake stands out as a consistently average-performing school in a neighborhood with some dramatic ups and downs. While nearby schools like Discovery Elementary and Sunrise Elementary have seen big swings in state rankings, Forest Lake has stayed in a tight band between the 45th and 58th percentile over the last five years. This makes it a reliable option for families. A key strength is its 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) performance: 66% of students were proficient, beating both the district (61%) and state (60%) averages. This is especially notable compared to nearby schools like Spirit Elementary (52%) and Enterprise Elementary (55%). Forest Lake also has lower chronic absenteeism (28.2%) than many neighbors, such as Friendship Elementary (38.5%) and Pride Elementary (33.3%), suggesting strong family-school connections.

One interesting finding is that Forest Lake achieves comparable or better results than schools with similar poverty rates, like Enterprise and Pride, despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students than higher-performing peers such as Timbercrest Elementary. This suggests effective teaching and support systems are in place. However, there is some volatility in the upper grades: 5th grade math proficiency dropped to 31% in 2023-2024 before rebounding to 63% in 2025-2026, and science scores have also fluctuated. Overall, Forest Lake offers a steady, middle-of-the-pack option with strong early literacy and lower absenteeism, making it a solid choice for families seeking consistency in the Deltona area.
