Summary

Manuel Esqueda Elementary is a K–8 school in Santa Ana, California, serving 811 students in the Santa Ana Unified district. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency rates were 27% in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math, and 15% in science. All three were below district and state rates; the central concern is that students are not yet reaching those broader benchmarks, especially in math.

ELA is the school’s strongest result relative to nearby schools, while math is its weakest. Esqueda’s ELA proficiency was 27%, compared with a nearby-school average of 24%, 33% for the district, and 49% statewide. Math was 16%, below the nearby average of 20%, district’s 22%, and state’s 38%; science was 15%, almost identical to the nearby average, but below the district’s 20% and state’s 36%. Results also vary by grade: eighth-grade ELA reached 40%, above the district’s 31%, while seventh-grade math was just 7%, below the district’s 22% and the state’s 38%.

Progress has been uneven: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 3 points, math fell 1 point, and science fell 3 points, while statewide science proficiency rose 6 points. SchoolDigger places Esqueda at the 11th percentile with 1 star; its percentile has stayed at 11 for the past three reported years. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.7, close to the nearby average of 20.7. Also as context, 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of 92%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking for Special Education Students was notably stronger, at the 39th percentile versus 11th overall; its ranking for English Language Learner Students fell from the 66th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 23rd in 2023–2024.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, February 27, 2025

This was the worst experience with an elementary school. If I could rate it zero stars, I would. My daughter, who has a stuttering issue, was made fun of by her 6th-grade teacher. When I raised the issue with the school, the counselor and principal didn’t take proper action. Instead of suspending the teacher, they only gave her a verbal warning. I felt completely unsupported by both the counselor and the principal. Additionally, before this incident, during a parent-teacher conference, the same teacher criticized my daughter's binder for being disorganized. She even held it up in front of us to show how messy it was, causing papers to fall out. I could tell the other two teachers felt uncomfortable and embarrassed, yet they didn’t say anything. This has now caused serious self-esteem issues for my daughter. The way she was treated by the teacher, and the lack of support from the school, has deeply affected her confidence. She no longer feels comfortable in school and struggles with feelings of embarrassment and insecurity. This school should be fully investigated for how they handle such situations. If you love your child, please don’t bring them here. The lack of care and accountability is unacceptable. Close Quote
