Lake Forest Elementary School

What Lake Forest Elementary School does

Lake Forest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving students in Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade (approximately ages 4-11), located at 2240 Sailsbury Drive, El Dorado Hills, California. The school operates as part of the Rescue Union School District and serves families within the district's geographic catchment area, charging no tuition for standard enrollment. Primary stakeholders are enrolled students and their families; secondary stakeholders include the Parent Teacher Council, district administration, and the broader El Dorado Hills community. The school has earned a National Blue Ribbon School designation (U.S. Department of Education, 2005) and a California Distinguished School honor (California Department of Education, 2014), and reported an Academic Performance Index of 921 for the 2010-11 school year, materially above the statewide target of 800.

The school's academic and operational technology is built on a standardized K-12 edtech stack. Core instructional tools include Google Apps for Education, the Follett Destiny Discover library catalog housing 800+ eBooks (with ABDO digital titles), the Accelerated Reader program and STAR Assessment using the Lexile Framework, Scholastic Reading Counts, Reflex Math for math fact fluency, and Typing Agent. Specialized intervention is delivered through the Literacy Intervention Program (LIP) and Math Intervention Program, which provide small-group reading and math instruction. The school operates a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy on the district's filtered wireless network, with Clever providing single sign-on across educational applications and Aeries Parent Portal serving as the student information system. Communication with families is centralized through Class Dojo, supplemented by weekly email news blasts, monthly newsletters, Google Calendar subscriptions, and Parent Link phone notifications. Beyond academics, the school offers Cross Country (approximately 80 student participants in grades 3-5), volleyball, basketball, a student garden program, a music program, and PTC-funded after-school enrichment classes.

The school's economic model is characteristic of public K-5 education in California. Operating funding flows from the state and Rescue Union School District via per-pupil allocations; the school has no private ownership, equity investors, or grant-based funding structure, and is governed by the district's Board of Trustees. Ancillary revenue is generated through the Extended Day Program (housed on campus but operated by the El Dorado County Office of Education, charging $3.60 per hour for scheduled hours and $4.00 per hour for flex hours, plus $25 activation and $10 supply fees) and the Celebration Book Club ($20 membership per honored student), both of which contribute marginal income relative to operating costs. Distribution is geographically constrained to families residing within district boundaries, with enrollment handled through the district's New Enrollment process.
