Summary

Myford Elementary is a 542-student K–5 school in Irvine, served by Tustin Unified. In 2025–2026, students’ proficiency was above California’s rate in all three tested subjects, but the school trailed most nearby K–5 schools in each. Most importantly, ELA and math proficiency have fallen substantially since 2022–2023, while Myford now ranks behind nearly all nearby schools in its overall SchoolDigger standing.

Compared with California, Myford was 14 percentage points higher in ELA (63% versus 49%), 27 points higher in math (65% versus 38%) and 18 points higher in science (54% versus 36%). It was also ahead of the district in math and science, by 9 and 4 points, but 1 point below the district in ELA. Locally, however, Myford ranked fifth among six K–5 schools in all three subjects. Its results were 8 points below the nearby K–5 comparison averages in ELA, math and science. Fifth grade is a relative bright spot: its ELA proficiency was 76%, ranking third of six local K–5 schools, while Myford’s third- and fourth-grade math results ranked fifth of six.

From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency fell 10 points in ELA, 9 in math and 3 in science; the gaps over California narrowed as the state’s results rose.
