Summary

REACH Academy is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Santa Ana, California, with a total enrollment of just 33 students. The school is part of the Santa Ana Unified School District, which is ranked 1259 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

REACH Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of California high schools over the past decade, with a statewide ranking between 1222 and 2309 out of over 2,300 high schools. The school's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners. REACH Academy's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 85% to 90.5% in recent years, which is lower than the state and district averages, and the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 19.4% to 90.7% of students chronically absent.

When compared to other high schools in the area, such as Tustin High, Middle College High, and Ocsa, REACH Academy's performance is significantly lower across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $20,552 to $102,532 in recent years, these increased resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
