Summary

Rose Drive Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 372 students in Yorba Linda, part of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified school district, and consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in California.

The school is distinguished by its remarkable and stable academic excellence, significantly outperforming both district and state averages, especially in English and Math. It stands out for its exceptional effectiveness in supporting all students, achieving results that place it in the 91st percentile statewide. This performance is even more impressive when compared to some nearby schools like John O. Tynes Elementary or Morse Elementary, which have similar student demographics but lower academic rankings. Rose Drive also excels at managing student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate well below the state average, contributing to its strong outcomes.

While the school is a top performer, the data shows specific areas for attention, such as a dip in 5th-grade math scores and science proficiency that, while above average, doesn't match its stellar results in other subjects. Compared to other high-achieving schools in the district like Golden Elementary or Lakeview Elementary, Rose Drive achieves its excellent outcomes with efficient spending per student, demonstrating a strong return on educational investment for the community.
