Summary

Savanna High is a large public high school serving approximately 1,466 students in grades 9-12 within the Anaheim Union High district, notable for its high graduation rate of 95.4% despite serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, the school faces challenges, particularly in mathematics where only about 12% of students are proficient, a trend seen across many traditional high schools in the district like Loara High and Western High. However, Savanna excels at helping students graduate, outperforming both district and state averages. Comparisons show interesting models nearby: Cambridge Virtual Academy achieves higher test scores with a similar student population, while Buena Park High in the neighboring Fullerton Joint Union High district has better academic outcomes and lower chronic absenteeism.

The school's spending per student is in the mid-range for the district, and data shows spending doesn't always predict results. Savanna has strengths in supporting African American students and English Learners but has struggled recently with services for Special Education students. While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, its strong graduation rate indicates effective systems for keeping students on track to earn their diploma.
