Summary

Old Orchard Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 520 students in the Newhall School District in Valencia, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above state averages in all subjects.

When compared to nearby schools, Old Orchard is a solid middle performer in a district with a wide range of outcomes. For example, it ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, which is strong, but academically trails top-tier neighbors like Stevenson Ranch Elementary (99th percentile) and Oak Hills Elementary (95th percentile). A key differentiator is that Old Orchard serves a student population with a higher level of economic need, with over half qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a factor schools must account for in their support systems.

The school has demonstrated remarkable success in improving student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism to just 6.5%, a rate lower than most schools in the district and a sign of strong student engagement. It also shows particular effectiveness in serving specific student groups, with its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students ranking in high percentiles statewide. While there are areas for growth, such as science scores and 4th-grade performance, Old Orchard provides a consistent and supportive educational environment that successfully meets the needs of its diverse community.
