Summary

Linda Vista Elementary is a K–6 school in Orange, California, serving 289 students in Orange Unified. Among 10 nearby schools, its latest test results are generally middle of the pack, while its attendance stands out. In 2025–26, just 3% of students were chronically absent—the lowest rate among the 11 schools, and well below the district’s 15% and the state’s 18%.

Math is Linda Vista’s clearest academic strength compared with the state and district: 58% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 20 points above the state and 11 above the district. That result ranked sixth of 11 nearby schools, so it is strong against state and district benchmarks but not a local high. ELA proficiency was 58%, 9 points above the state and 1 below the district, ranking fifth of 11. Science proficiency was 47%, 11 points above the state and essentially even with the district, also ranking fifth. Linda Vista’s math result was above the nearby-school average of 53%; its ELA and science results were around their respective nearby averages.

Results have changed unevenly over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 68% to 58% and science from 71% to 47%, while math rose from 56% to 58% after a dip in 2024–25. SchoolDigger ranked Linda Vista in the 79th percentile statewide in 2025–26, with 4 stars and the sixth-highest percentile among these 11 schools; its percentile has fluctuated over the years shown. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23.4, the third-lowest in the comparison group. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 42% in 2024–25, below the nearby-school average of 54%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that its measure of how well the school serves “White Students” was at the 61st percentile in 2025–26, versus the school’s overall 79th percentile; that subgroup ranking fell from the 90th percentile in 2023–24. With 289 students, results for individual student cohorts may vary.
