Summary

Linda Vista Elementary is a K–5 school serving 387 students in Yorba Linda, a suburban community in Orange County, and is part of Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates in ELA, math and science were all above both state and district results. The clearest standout is math: Linda Vista ranked fourth among 10 nearby schools.

Math is also where Linda Vista has its strongest local comparison: 77% of students were proficient, versus a 68% average among the nearby schools, as well as 57% districtwide and 38% statewide. ELA is a relative weak spot locally, despite being above district and state results: 72% were proficient, just below the nearby-school average of 73%, ranking seventh of 10. Science proficiency was 64%, above the district’s 52% and state’s 36%, but ranked sixth among nearby schools. The nearby group includes both K–5 and K–6 schools, so grade spans may affect all-grade comparisons.

Results have improved overall since 2022–23, though they dipped in 2024–25 before rising again. ELA increased by 1 percentage point over that period, while its advantage over the state narrowed by 2 points; math rose by 7 points and widened its state advantage by 3 points; science rose by 6 points, with its state advantage nearly unchanged. Linda Vista is rated by SchoolDigger at 479 of 5,804 California schools, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. A notable difference in its statewide group standings is Asian students: SchoolDigger’s percentile for this group was 57 in 2025–26, compared with 92 overall, though it has risen from 41 in 2022–23. The school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 25.9, second-highest among nearby schools; 27% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the state and district in 2025–26: 7%, compared with 18% statewide and 14% districtwide.
