Summary

Jordan Academy of Language and Computer Science is a K-6 elementary school serving 430 students in the Orange Unified School District, showing a clear and steady upward trend in its statewide ranking over the past several years.

The school is particularly effective with its student population, as its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students consistently score well above the state average for their peer groups. A standout success story is the dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has dropped from nearly 30% to just over 11% in three years—a much sharper improvement than seen at most nearby schools like Esplanade Elementary. While its overall test scores are slightly above the California average, the school faces challenges, including notably low science proficiency and a need for stronger support for English Language Learners and special education students.

Compared to other schools in Orange Unified, Jordan Academy performs better than expected given its demographics, outperforming schools with similar student populations. However, there is a wide performance gap within the district, with higher-performing schools like Panorama Elementary and McPherson Magnet located less than a mile away. Schools in neighboring Tustin Unified, such as Arroyo Elementary and Red Hill Elementary, generally achieve higher rankings, highlighting differences between the two districts.
