Summary

Orange County Educational Arts Academy (OCEAA) is a K-8 public school serving 643 students in Santa Ana, operating as its own independent Orange County Educational Arts Academy District and performing in the middle range of California schools.

While its overall test scores are near the state average in English and below in math and science, OCEAA stands out in its local context by significantly outperforming many nearby traditional Santa Ana Unified schools like Martin R. Heninger Elementary and Roosevelt Walker Academy, especially given its similar student population. The school has remarkable strengths, including an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.8% and outstanding support for special education students, ranking in the state's top 20% for that group. It also shows impressive growth, with 8th graders achieving over 70% proficiency in English Language Arts.

OCEAA achieves these results while spending considerably less per student than neighboring schools. Its closest peer is El Sol Santa Ana Science and Arts Academy, another independent academy which performs slightly higher overall. For families in the area, OCEAA presents a cost-effective model with a strong attendance culture and particular effectiveness in supporting special education students and upper-grade academic growth.
