Forest Road School consistently ranks in the top 15% of New York elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the state average on New York State Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance is particularly strong in English Language Arts, with 6th-grade students scoring over 20 percentage points higher than the state average in recent years.
