Summary

Roy O. Andersen Elementary is a K–6 school in Newport Beach, serving 353 students in Newport-Mesa Unified. Its 2025–26 results show especially strong schoolwide performance in English language arts and math, and it had the highest scores in both subjects among the 10 nearby schools with reported results.

English language arts and math are Roy’s clearest strengths against nearby, district and state comparisons. In 2025–26, 87% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 61% in the district and 49% statewide; Roy was also 11 points above the nearby-school average. In math, 88% were proficient, versus 52% in the district and 38% statewide, and 14 points above the nearby average. Science is the relative weakness: 67% were proficient, still above the district’s 43% and state’s 36%, but only 1 point above the nearby average; Roy ranked seventh among the 10 schools with reported scores.

Over the four years shown, English language arts proficiency rose 6 percentage points overall and math rose 2, while science fell 8 points, from 75% in 2022–23 to 67% in 2025–26. Science is worth watching, though its latest result remains well above state and district rates. SchoolDigger ranks Roy 85th of 5,804 statewide, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars; its percentile rose from 96 in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism was 3% in 2025–26, compared with 12% in the district and 18% statewide. For context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 21.7:1 in 2024–25, tied for the highest among its same-district neighbors, and 9% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the lowest reported share among nearby schools with the same measure and year. These figures describe context, not what causes the results.

What people are saying

Wednesday, June 17, 2015

Principal is not great and too concerned with appearance and not the individual student. This school has become complacent on relying on the well educated population to keep it with high test scores. Lots of bullying problems. Close Quote
