Summary

Forest City Elementary School is a public elementary school in Altamonte Springs, Florida, serving 744 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Seminole County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Forest City Elementary consistently outperforms the Seminole County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with a 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 62% compared to 66% for the county and 55% for the state. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, Forest City has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, between 66.92% and 75%, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending has increased from $9,399 in 2021-2022 to $12,196 in 2023-2024, which may contribute to its academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools in the Seminole County district, Forest City Elementary generally performs better on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. However, it lags behind the top-performing Sabal Point Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 5% of Florida elementary schools. Addressing the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates and supporting its economically disadvantaged student population should be priorities for Forest City Elementary to continue enhancing its educational outcomes.
