Public, Charter Grades K-6

Summary

GOALS Academy is a 240-student K–6 school in Anaheim, California, in the Anaheim Elementary district. Its reported 2025–2026 proficiency rates were higher than both district and state averages in English language arts, math, and science. Most strikingly, it also posted the highest results in all three subjects among nearby schools with scores from that year.

Science is GOALS’s strongest subject compared with local and broader benchmarks: 79% of students were proficient, versus 36% statewide and 21% districtwide, and the result was 47 points above nearby leader Price (Adelaide) Elementary. In ELA, GOALS reached 73%, compared with 49% for the state and 32% for the district; that was 30 points above nearby high scorer Franklin (Benjamin) Elementary. Math was its relative low point, but GOALS still scored 59%—21 points above the state, 36 above the district, and 20 above nearby leader Richman Elementary. Within the school, grades 5 and 6 were the strongest, particularly in ELA: grade 6 ELA proficiency was 90%, while grade 4 was a relative low point across ELA and math.

SchoolDigger ranks GOALS at the 84th percentile with four stars for 2025–2026, compared with the district’s 21st-percentile ranking; these are separate rankings. The school’s overall percentile was 53 in 2016–2017, 39 in 2017–2018, and 84 in 2025–2026, a 31-point net rise from the earliest year—not evidence of a test-score trend. SchoolDigger’s rankings for Hispanic students rose from the 34th to the 97th percentile, and for low socioeconomic status students from the 35th to the 93rd, indicating substantial improvement in how well the school serves those groups. GOALS’s latest listed free/reduced lunch eligible figure was 66% in 2017–2018, and its latest student-teacher ratio was 31.2 that year. Because GOALS has proficiency data only for 2025–2026, its test-score trend cannot be established, and its older income and ratio figures cannot be fairly compared with current nearby data.
