Summary

Walt Disney Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 560 students in Anaheim, California, and is part of the Magnolia Elementary School District, which is rated above average in the state.

This school consistently performs better than both its district and the state average in English, math, and science, with a particularly strong showing in mathematics. It stands out for its remarkably low rate of chronic student absences, which is significantly better than nearby schools like Mattie Lou Maxwell and Dr. Jonas E. Salk, and it shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting homeless students and English learners. While its statewide ranking has dipped slightly recently, its actual test scores remain strong, and students show impressive academic growth, with sixth graders performing much better than they did in fifth grade.

Within the Magnolia Elementary district, Walt Disney is one of the top performers, second only to Dr. Albert Schweitzer Leadership Academy, and it substantially outperforms all schools in the neighboring Anaheim Elementary district. The school achieves these strong results efficiently, with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than some district peers like Lord Baden-Powell, demonstrating effective use of its resources.
