Summary:
The Samueli Academy District consists of a single high school, Samueli Academy, serving grades 7-12 in Santa Ana with an enrollment of 842 students.
Samueli Academy stands out for its exceptional student support, achieving a remarkable 98.4% graduation rate and a very low 1.6% dropout rate, both significantly better than state averages. The school shows particular strength in English Language Arts, where it consistently outperforms the state, especially in 7th and 11th grades. However, math proficiency is an area for growth, with scores below the state average across grade levels.
Despite serving a student population where about three-quarters qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate slightly better than the state average. Its performance has been stable over recent years, and its structure as a single-school district allows for focused resource allocation. For parents, this school demonstrates a strong commitment to seeing students through to graduation with notable success in literacy, while also indicating a clear focus area for improvement in mathematics.
