Garden Grove Unified


Summary:

The Garden Grove Unified district consists of 64 schools serving grades K-12 across several Orange County cities, and it ranks as a high-performing 4-star district well above the state average.

Parents will find a mix of exceptional and challenged schools within the district. Standout top performers include Ethan B. Allen Elementary, the district's highest-ranked school, La Quinta High with its strong graduation rate, and other excellent elementary schools like Patton Elementary and Loyal Barker Elementary. In contrast, schools like Marie L. Hare High and Edward Russell Elementary face significant academic challenges, while alternative schools such as Mark Twain Special Center provide specialized support.

Overall, the district excels in English and science proficiency and maintains a high graduation rate, though high school math is a relative weakness. A notable finding is the sharp drop in 12th-grade science scores across most high schools. Importantly, many schools, such as R. F. Hazard Elementary, achieve solid results despite high economic need, demonstrating that the district effectively supports a diverse student population.
