Summary

Orange County School of Computer Science is a 4-star rated public middle school serving 753 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-regarded Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified school district in Yorba Linda, CA.

This school offers a specialized computer science focus and performs above California state averages in all core subjects, with particular strength in English Language Arts and a notable Spanish language program. However, its math scores are a relative weakness, which is surprising for a school with this theme, and its statewide ranking has gradually declined over the past decade. The school serves a student population with a significant level of economic need, and while it outperforms other schools with similar demographics, it trails some nearby higher-performing middle schools like Yorba Linda Middle and El Rancho Charter in academic proficiency.

Key areas for parents to consider include the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and its per-student spending, which is among the highest locally but yields mid-tier academic results compared to neighbors. The school shows strong support for certain groups, like military-connected students, but has room for improvement in supporting all learners to reach their full potential, especially in mathematics which is central to its computer science mission.
