Summary

C. C. Violette Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 271 students in the Garden Grove Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both district and state averages; its science scores, at just 7%, are particularly low compared to nearby schools like Parkview Elementary and Ocia A. Peters Elementary. Performance varies greatly by grade, with 6th graders showing much stronger results than 4th graders. Despite this, the school has a notable strength: it is highly effective in supporting its English Language Learner students, ranking in the top quartile statewide for that subgroup.

The school has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by nearly 20 percentage points in two years to a level now better than the district average. While C. C. Violette Elementary ranks lower than other Garden Grove Unified schools with similar student populations, it outperforms some schools in neighboring districts like Anaheim Elementary. The school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several nearby peers.
