Summary

Forest City Elementary School in Altamonte Springs, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 765 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the highly-ranked Seminole County Public Schools district, where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Forest City is a stable, solidly performing school that consistently ranks in the 60th percentile statewide, and it truly shines in mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, 81% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, significantly outperforming the district (74%) and state (66%) averages. This is a consistent trend, with 3rd-grade math proficiency remaining above 65% for the past four years. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Altamonte Elementary (51%) and Spring Lake Elementary (64%), which serve similar demographics. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (27.4%) than its closest demographic peers, such as Riverside Elementary (38.6%) and Altamonte Elementary (35.1%), indicating better student engagement and attendance.

While Forest City is a clear leader among schools with a similar demographic profile, it is not a top-tier school like its neighbor Sabal Point Elementary, which serves a much wealthier population and achieves dramatically higher test scores. Forest City's performance is impressive given its context, and it uses its resources efficiently, achieving better academic results than schools that spend more, such as Altamonte Elementary ($12,712 per student) and Lockhart Elementary ($15,221). The school's main challenge is in English Language Arts (ELA), where 4th and 5th-grade scores (58% and 60%) lag behind the district average, suggesting that instructional strategies may be particularly effective for math.
