SchoolDigger gives Forest Ranch Charter three stars, and its statewide percentile slipped from 58 in 2021–22 to 55 in 2023–24, after reaching 59 in 2022–23; the net decline was 3 percentile points. The school reports 54% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; the state context says all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility), which is not a comparable statewide rate. Chronic absenteeism was 33% at the school in 2024–25, compared with 18% statewide in 2025–26, so the figures are from different years. The school reported spending of $16,313 per student in 2023–24. With one year of test results and one school in the list, the data cannot show a test-score trend or local school-to-school differences.
