Summary:
The Palm Lane Global Academy District in Anaheim, California, is a single-school district serving 288 students in grades K-6 at Palm Lane Global Academy.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science consistently below state averages, resulting in a low state ranking and a 1-star rating. A major concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 35%, which is nearly double the state average and is a critical barrier to student success. Despite these struggles, there is a notable investment in resources, with per-student spending at $17,492, which is above the typical California average.
While performance remains low, recent years show some fluctuation in its statewide percentile rank, indicating efforts may be having a variable effect. The school serves a community with high economic need, with over 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. For parents, this suggests the school is in a supportive district structure that allows for focused attention, but it is actively working to overcome substantial hurdles in student attendance and academic achievement.
