Summary:
The 14 schools in ZIP code 92701 include eight elementary schools, one middle school and five high schools, with reported all-grades test results spanning 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Results vary sharply: among the eight schools with reported 2025–2026 scores, the school averages were 37% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in mathematics and 22% in science, all below state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest takeaway is that OCSA stands far above the other schools with current reported results, while most of those schools are well below state averages.
OCSA leads in all three subjects, scoring 85% in ELA, 70% in mathematics and 74% in science—35, 32 and 38 percentage points above the state. The other seven schools with reported scores averaged 30% in ELA, 19% in mathematics and 15% in science. At the low end, Franklin Elementary scored 22% in ELA and 10% in science, while Raymond A. Villa Fundamental Intermediate had the lowest mathematics result, at 12%. There are grade-level bright spots: Wallace R. Davis Elementary reached 49% in third-grade mathematics, above the state’s 47%.
The same eight schools’ averages rose modestly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: about 1 percentage point in each subject, while the state’s science result rose 3 points, so the group’s science gap widened. SchoolDigger ranks OCSA 52nd of 2,137 schools, in the 98th percentile with five stars; Santa Ana High ranks 1,576th, in the 26th percentile with one star. Income figures are context, not a simple guide to results: schools report free/reduced lunch eligibility for 2024–2025, ranging from 16% at OCSA to 95% at Raymond A. Villa Fundamental Intermediate; NOVA Academy – Coachella and Nova Academy Early College High had nearly identical rates, about 89%, but very different 11th-grade ELA results in 2024–2025, 68% and 32%. REACH Academy has no available 2025–2026 test scores.
