Summary:

Forte Preparatory Academy Charter School is the sole middle school in the Forte Preparatory Academy Charter School district, serving grades 5-10 in Elmhurst, New York. This standout school has consistently ranked highly among New York middle schools, placing 116th out of 1,500 in the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's students have demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in many subject areas, particularly in math. On Regents exams, the school's students have also performed well, with high proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra II, Global History, and Living Environment. However, the school's proficiency rate in 5th grade Science (37.08%) is lower than the state average (45.02%).

Despite the school's academic success, it faces some challenges. The school has a high percentage of students (87.13%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 31.5%, which is relatively high. The school's per-student spending is significantly higher than the state average, but the student-teacher ratio is quite high at 443:1, suggesting the school may need to allocate its resources more effectively.
