Summary
Danbrook Elementary serves 433 students in grades K–6 in Anaheim’s Centralia Elementary district, among nearby schools that also serve K–6. Its results are mixed: math is stronger than the state average, but English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) is the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, 39% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 49% statewide and 57% in the district; the school’s result was also 11 points below the nearby-school average.
Math is a relative strength: 50% were proficient, 12 points above the state and 3 points above the nearby average, making Danbrook third-highest among the 11 schools. It still trailed the district by 8 points. Fourth-grade math stood out at 70%, compared with 42% statewide; by contrast, third-grade ELA was 29%, against 44% statewide. Science was close to the nearby average at 39%, 3 points above the state but 10 below the district. Overall, the nearby comparisons reinforce the contrast: Danbrook ranks near the top in math but third-lowest in ELA.
Results have moved in different directions over time: ELA fell 7 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026 as the state result rose, widening Danbrook’s gap with the state by 9 points; math rose 11 points, increasing its state advantage by 7 points. Science improved by 8 points from 2022–2023, though its latest result was below the prior year. SchoolDigger places Danbrook at the 59th percentile statewide, with 3 stars; among these nearby schools, it ranks sixth of 11 overall. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings also suggest stronger results for some groups: Special Education Students rank at the 85th percentile and Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 76th, compared with 59th overall. In 2024–2025, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 25.4, versus a nearby average of 22.6. California provides free meals to all students statewide, but the eligibility figure is Danbrook’s own measure. School-year test results do not necessarily track the same students over time.
