Summary:
The Forestville Union Elementary district has two schools: Forestville Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 1, and Forestville Academy, serving grades 2–8. The supplied data list proficiency results only for Academy, so they do not support an academic ranking between the schools. In 2025–26, Academy’s proficiency was below the state in all three subjects: ELA was 41% versus 49% statewide, math 19% versus 38%, and science 22% versus 36%. Math is the clearest concern, with the largest state gap at 19 percentage points.
Academy’s strongest subject relative to the state is ELA, and math is its weakest; the same pattern appears in both subjects’ grade-level results. In ELA, grade 4 reached 55%, 9 points above the state, while grade 6 was 29%, 19 points below. Math varied even more: grade 4 reached 41%, just 2 points below the state, but grade 8 was 3%, 33 points below. Science proficiency was 30% in grade 5 and 17% in grade 8, below state results by 5 and 18 points, respectively. SchoolDigger rates Academy one star and ranks it 2,232 out of 2,703 schools, at the 17th percentile.
Academy’s state gaps widened in every subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26: from 6 to 8 points in ELA, 12 to 19 in math, and 4 to 14 in science. SchoolDigger’s ranking history rose from the 17th percentile in 2023–24 to the 35th in 2024–25, then returned to the 17th percentile in 2025–26; its rating went from one star to two and back to one. The schools have similar reported free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–25: 40% at Academy and 39% at Elementary. Academy enrolled 152 students, compared with 72 at Elementary; their 2024–25 student-teacher ratios were 14.8:1 and 18.0:1. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 26% at Academy and 22% at Elementary, compared with 18% statewide.
