Summary

Imperial Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 389 students in Anaheim's Orange Unified School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above state averages in English and Math.

The school stands out for its effective management of student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% that is better than both district and state averages, and it achieves these solid academic results while operating with a lower per-student budget than many comparable schools like Woodsboro Elementary or Glenknoll Elementary. While not a top performer like Crescent Elementary or Nohl Canyon Elementary in its own district, Imperial performs similarly to peers such as Serrano Elementary and even outperforms some schools in higher-ranked districts, such as Glenview Elementary.

Parents should note the school's reliable, decade-long track record and its particular strengths in the early grades (3rd and 4th), though there is a noticeable dip in 5th-grade performance in both English and Math that the school is likely addressing. Overall, Imperial Elementary represents a stable and efficient community school that delivers consistent, above-average educational outcomes for its students.
