Summary
C. C. Violette Elementary serves 271 students in kindergarten through grade six in Garden Grove, California. In 2025–26, the school was below both California and Garden Grove Unified in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important concern is science: just 12% of students were proficient, the second-lowest result among the school and its 10 nearby comparisons.
Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to state and district results, while science is its weakest. Math proficiency was 33%, six points below the state and 19 below the district; ELA was 39%, 11 points below the state and 23 below the district. Science was 12%, 24 points below the state and 33 below the district. Compared with nearby-school averages, results were lower by 6 points in math, 8 in ELA, and 22 in science. Grade-level results also differ: fourth-grade ELA reached 54%, above the state’s 46%, while sixth-grade ELA was 26%, 22 points below the state.
ELA and math have improved since 2022–23: proficiency rose by 8 points in each, and their gaps to the state narrowed by 5 points in ELA and 4 in math. Science, by contrast, fell by 7 points overall, despite a 5-point increase in the latest year; its gap to the state widened by 12 points. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism dropped from 31% in 2021–22 to 11% in 2025–26, below the district’s 13% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 39th percentile statewide and gave it 2 stars in 2025–26. In 2024–25, its student–teacher ratio was 26.9, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 81%. SchoolDigger’s historical ranking for English Language Learner students was notably higher than the overall ranking: the group ranked at the 77th percentile in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall 41st percentile that year.
