Summary

Orange Elementary serves 746 students in grades K–6 in Corona, within the Corona-Norco Unified area. Its clearest academic strength is English language arts (ELA), while math and science are the main concerns: in 2025–26, 58% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 37% in math and 35% in science. Most importantly, math and science have lost their earlier advantages over state results, and both are now slightly below state averages.

Orange’s ELA result is stronger than its nearby-school average and is essentially level with the district: 58% compared with 55% nearby and 58% districtwide; it is also 9 percentage points above the state. Math and science lag nearby schools by 6 and 4 points, respectively, and trail the district by 7 and 6 points; both are about 1 point below state results. Sixth grade shows a particularly sharp contrast: ELA proficiency was 65%, 17 points above the state, while math was 30%, 21 points below the district and 7 below the state.

Over four reported years, ELA slipped 1 percentage point, while math fell 12 points and science fell 15; science alone dropped 10 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranked Orange 2,120th of 5,804 California schools, at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, down 10 percentile points from 2023–24. Its statewide ranking for special education students was notably stronger: the group ranked at the 82nd percentile, compared with the school’s overall 63rd percentile. Orange reported 63% of students as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Its student-teacher ratio was 24.0, close to the nearby-school average of 24.5.
