Summary

Orange Grove Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 548 students in Anaheim, part of the Anaheim Elementary district, which ranks in the bottom 18th percentile of all districts in California.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only 24% of students proficient in English and 14% in math, placing it in the 11th percentile of state elementary schools and earning it a 1-star rating. This performance is notably lower than nearby schools; for instance, Thomas Jefferson Elementary, just 0.66 miles away, has more than double the proficiency rates. While Orange Grove spends a mid-range amount per student ($23,233), its academic outcomes are among the lowest in the area, raising questions about how effectively resources are used. The school has shown a concerning decline over the past decade, falling from the 35th to the 11th percentile.

Despite these struggles, there are a few bright spots: the school has made real progress in reducing chronic student absences, and it shows relative strength in serving Spanish-speaking students on native language assessments and in supporting its special education population. However, the dramatic performance gap with other local schools with similar student demographics suggests that factors beyond district-wide challenges are at play, and targeted improvements in curriculum and instruction are critically needed.
