Summary

Enders Elementary serves 400 students in grades K–6 in Garden Grove, in the Garden Grove Unified area. In 2025–26, 74% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 65% in math, and 47% in science. The most important takeaway is that the school scored above both district and state proficiency rates in all three subjects.

Compared with the 10 nearby schools, Enders ranked third in ELA, fourth in math, and fifth in science. Its clearest advantage against the nearby-school averages was in ELA: 74% proficiency versus an average of 58%; in science, the difference was smaller, at 47% versus 44%. Enders’ results were higher than the state’s by 25 percentage points in ELA, 27 in math, and 11 in science. Compared with the district, it was ahead by 13 points in ELA, 13 in math, and 2 in science. So while math showed the largest lead over the state, science was the school’s weakest subject relative to nearby schools, the district, and the state.

ELA and math proficiency have slipped since 2022–23, falling by about 4 percentage points in each subject; science rose by 13 points overall but swung sharply, dropping 27 points from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger gives Enders 4 stars and an 88th-percentile statewide rank in 2025–26, up 32 percentile points from 2014–15.

The school reported that 39% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; California provides free meals to all students statewide, and this reported eligibility measure is a separate figure. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Asian Students was at the 46th percentile, 42 points below its overall percentile. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking was at the 81st percentile in 2025–26, down 16 points from the prior year.
