Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Orange County Educational Arts Academy is a 592-student K–8 school in Santa Ana Unified, serving families in Santa Ana, California. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency rates were 50% in English language arts, 29% in math and 40% in science. The school’s most important distinction is that it led the seven nearby Santa Ana Unified schools with results that year in all three subjects.

The school’s results are strongest in science and ELA relative to the state, while math is its clearest weakness. ELA proficiency was 50%, compared with 33% in Santa Ana Unified and 49% statewide; science was 40%, above the district’s 20% and the state’s 36%. Math was 29%—above the district’s 22% but below the state’s 38%. It also led nearby schools by 19 points in ELA, 8 in math and 23 in science compared with their averages. Seventh-grade ELA stood out: 67% proficient, 17 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism was another positive: 12%, compared with 19% in the district and 18% statewide, and lower than each nearby school’s reported rate.

SchoolDigger places the school at the 49th percentile statewide for 2025–26, with 2 stars (rank 2,986 of 5,804), ahead of nearby schools’ 9th–30th percentiles. Its percentile has declined 10 points since 2017–18, though it has risen 47 points from the 2nd percentile in 2008–09. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Special Education Students is notably higher: the 89th percentile, 4 stars (rank 317 of 2,920), compared with the school’s overall 49th percentile. Subject-score trends cannot be assessed from the single year provided; the last supplied student-teacher ratio was 22.2 in 2017–18, and no school-level low-income measure was reported.

A wonderful school with nurturing teachers and staff, a great nutritional program with fresh, healthy food made daily in the fully equipped kitchen and a rigorous academic program. Oh, I forgot to mention all the arts and technology - what more could a parent ask for? Close Quote
