Summary:
Forest Park School District 91 has four schools—three elementary schools and one middle school—serving pre-K through grade 8 in Forest Park. The supplied 2025–2026 results show that the two schools with scores are above the state in all-grade English language arts (ELA) on average: about 58% proficient, compared with 56% statewide. In math, their average is about 29%, compared with 40% statewide. The most important shared concern is math: both schools are below the state, and their average trails it by 10 percentage points.
Field Stevenson Elementary School leads the all-grade comparison, at 59% in ELA and 33% in math, versus 57% and 25% at Forest Park Middle School—leads of 3 and 8 points, respectively. Field Stevenson’s standout is third-grade ELA, 15 points above the state; its fifth-grade math result is 19 points below. Forest Park Middle’s strongest result is eighth-grade ELA, 3 points above the state, although its all-grade math result is the lowest of the two schools. The supplied results cover only these two schools; Garfield Elementary School and Betsy Ross Elementary School have no test-score figures here.
Recent changes are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Field Stevenson’s ELA rose 8 points while Forest Park Middle’s fell 3; math fell 3 points at Field Stevenson and was nearly unchanged at the middle school. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile standings also declined, from 50 to 43 for Field Stevenson and from 60 to 34 for Forest Park Middle between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. As context, in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 50% and 54%, respectively; student-teacher ratios were 10.1 and 8.8. The tested schools had similar 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism rates, about 20% each, below the state’s 24%. These figures provide context, not an explanation of score differences.
