Forestville Military Academy (FMA) is a military high school located in Forestville, a section of unincorporated Prince George's County, Maryland, United States.
The academy, part of Prince George's County Public Schools, is notable as the only military academy in Prince George's County.
Forestville Military Academy is part of the United States Government's JROTC program. In addition to this, Forestville Military Academy has been recognized in the 2006–2007 school year for making the Annual Yearly Progress (AYP). Also, around 50% of students attending FMA have passed the HSA exams.
The principal of the school is Nathaniel Laney, a Prince George's County native. The JROTC program was first implemented for all grade levels in 2006, which is led by Major General Warren L. Freeman, the school's commadant. The school mandates JROTC as a class for all grade levels, based on Leadership Education Training (LET). All students begin with a rank of cadet, ending with colonel. However, very few students arrive that far. In order to be promoted, one must merit it through a minimum of GPAs (depending on rank sought). Also, for the rank of Sergeant First Class and above promotions, students must present themselves on the Promotion Board (based on peers).

In the Fall of 2002, the first military academy class was admitted through the doors of Forestville. Along with this came an increase in numbers of those who were members of the JROTC program. Forestille Military Academy then moved from a Battalion JROTC level to a Brigade JROTC level, one of the largest in the state of Maryland. The first Brigade Commander was Cadet Colonel Rashonda Tangle and the highest ranking Cadet Non-Commissioned Officer was Cadet Command Sergeant Major Kiana Carr. In the fall of 2006, Cadet Colonel Jeshawna Wholley became the first Regiment Commander of Forestville Military Academy when the school was completely filled with cadets.
