Summary:
The 92630 zip code area in California is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Saddleback Valley Unified School District, except for the public charter school Oxford Preparatory Academy - Saddleback Valley.
The standout school in the area is Oxford Preparatory Academy - Saddleback Valley, a public charter school that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state with exceptional test scores and a low chronic absenteeism rate. The high school, El Toro High, and the middle school, Serrano Intermediate, also perform well, ranking in the top 20% of California schools in their respective categories. However, there is a clear correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of low-income students generally performing worse than those with more affluent student bodies.
The racial composition of the schools also seems to be linked to academic performance, with schools having a majority Hispanic or African American student population generally performing worse than those with a majority White or Asian student population. The district as a whole appears to be performing above the state average, but there is still room for improvement, especially in addressing the achievement gaps between different demographic groups and addressing high chronic absenteeism rates at some schools.
