Summary:

The Vista Heritage Global Academy District consists of a single charter middle school, Vista Heritage Global Academy, serving grades 6 through 9 for 369 students in Santa Ana.

This school serves a community with very high economic need, and its academic performance, particularly in math, is significantly below state averages, maintaining a low 1-star rating. However, it spends more per student than the California average and has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking. A notable strength is its chronic absenteeism rate, which is better than the state average, indicating success in getting students to school.

Performance varies by grade, with 7th graders performing best in English while math scores show a concerning decline from 6th to 8th grade. As the only school in its district, Vista Heritage Global Academy faces the unique challenges and opportunities of a small, focused educational environment dedicated to serving its high-need population.
