Summary

Anaheim High is a large, traditional public high school serving approximately 2,667 students in grades 9-12 within the Anaheim Union High district, consistently earning a 2-star rating that places it in the lower half of schools statewide.

The school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics where only about 11% of students are proficient, a rate far below the district and state averages and notably lower than nearby schools like Cambridge Virtual Academy (35.6%) and Fullerton Union High (37.2%). English scores are stronger but still lag behind some district peers like Magnolia High. Chronic absenteeism, at 33%, is also a pressing concern, higher than the state average and schools such as Savanna High. Despite these struggles, Anaheim High maintains a notable strength with a graduation rate over 93%, and it performs relatively well in supporting its English Language Learner students.

Interesting comparisons show that while most schools in the Anaheim Union High district serve similar high-need populations, outcomes vary, suggesting school-specific practices matter. The school spends less per student than several district counterparts and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio. The data presents a complex picture: Anaheim High graduates most of its students but with concerning proficiency gaps, especially in math, indicating a critical need for targeted interventions in that subject and in improving daily attendance.
