Summary:

Anaheim Elementary includes 23 schools, all serving kindergarten through grade 6, making their results more comparable by grade span. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 33% in ELA, 23% in math, and 21% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The biggest takeaway is that results vary widely—about 29 percentage points between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools in each subject—while the group averages remain below the state in all three.

Jefferson (Thomas) Elementary leads all three subjects, with 48% in ELA, 37.8% in math, and 40% in science; its science score is 4 points above the state, while its ELA and math results are close to state levels. Juarez (Benito) Elementary ranks second in all three, and its 37% science score is 1 point above the state. Franklin (Benjamin) Elementary is another ELA standout at 44%, 11 points above the district average. At the lower end, Ponderosa Elementary has the lowest ELA and math results, 19% and 9%; Guinn (James M.) Elementary is lowest in science at 11%.

Across the two comparable years, ELA improved: the school average rose by 2 points, and the gap with the state narrowed. Science also rose by 1 point on average, but the state gained more, widening the gap; math slipped while the state improved. Individual schools had different trajectories: Juarez gained 15 points in science, while Orange Grove Elementary gained 9 in ELA. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose from 15 to 38 for Roosevelt (Theodore) Elementary over three years, while Loara Elementary fell from 46 to 22. All schools report a free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–2025; Jefferson (80.3%) and Revere (Paul) Elementary (79.7%) have similar shares but differ by 22 points in ELA, 18 in math, and 15 in science—an observation, not an explanation for their results.
