Anaheim Union High

The Anaheim Union High School District encompasses 21 schools, including 13 high schools and 8 middle schools, serving students in the Anaheim, California area. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with standout institutions like Oxford Academy and John F. Kennedy High achieving exceptional results, while others like Gilbert High (Continuation) struggle with lower graduation rates and higher chronic absenteeism.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, with the percentage of 11th graders proficient in English ranging from 99.5% at Oxford Academy to just 12.4% at Gilbert High (Continuation). There appears to be a correlation between schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families and lower academic achievement, though schools like Oxford Academy and John F. Kennedy High demonstrate that high performance is possible even with a significant economically disadvantaged student population.

The district's schools also vary widely in their student demographics, with some, like Cypress High, having a relatively diverse student body, and others, such as Anaheim High and Katella High, having predominantly Hispanic student populations. The data also suggests that some schools may have more positive and engaging school climates that encourage student attendance and participation, as evidenced by the stark differences in chronic absenteeism rates.
