Summary:
Scholarship Prep - Orange County District contains one elementary school, Scholarship Prep - Orange County, a K-8 campus in Santa Ana serving 615 students.
This school demonstrates a significant strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.5% that is far better than the state average, indicating a strong, engaged school community. However, academic proficiency in English, math, and science currently lags behind California averages, with science scores showing a particularly wide gap. The school serves a high-need population, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it receives substantial per-student funding. Its statewide ranking has been steadily improving over the past few years.
Performance varies notably between grade levels within the school, with middle school grades sometimes outperforming elementary grades in certain subjects, suggesting areas for curriculum review. The student-teacher ratio is higher than ideal at over 25-to-1. For parents, the school presents a profile of strong daily engagement and a positive trajectory, but with clear academic challenges to address, especially in science instruction.
