Summary

Panorama Elementary is a top-performing K-6 public school with 408 students in Santa Ana's Orange Unified School District, consistently ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating for its exceptional academic achievement.

The school stands out for its remarkable effectiveness with all students, achieving proficiency rates far above district and state averages in English, math, and science. It is particularly distinguished by its outstanding support for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 98th percentile for this group. Furthermore, Panorama maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.1%, a key factor in its success and a stark contrast to nearby schools like Prospect Elementary (21.6%) and Esplanade Elementary (17.4%).

Panorama's excellence is even more notable when compared to its neighbors. It significantly outperforms other schools in its own district with similar resources and forms part of a local cluster of high achievers near the district border, including Red Hill Elementary and Arroyo Elementary in the Tustin Unified School District. This sustained, decade-long success demonstrates that Panorama has built a consistently effective learning environment for every child.
