Summary:

ZIP code 92701 has eight elementary schools in Santa Ana, serving kindergarten through grade 5, 6, or 8. Their reported results span two test years, so the fairest broad comparisons are within each year group. The clearest takeaway is that results vary sharply by school and cohort: in 2024–2025, two of three schools were near the state ELA rate, while all five schools in 2025–2026 were at least 15.40 percentage points below their state rate.

El Sol Santa Ana Science and Arts Academy led the 2024–2025 group in ELA and math, with 50% and 42% proficient—about 1 point and 5 points above state, respectively. Orange County Educational Arts Academy was close in all-grade ELA at 49%, and stood out in grades 7 and 8 ELA at 68% and 70%. Edward B. Cole Academy had the lowest results in that group: 33% in ELA, 27% in math, and 19% in science. In 2025–2026, Wallace R. Davis Elementary led in ELA and math at 34% and 29%; its math rate was 9 points below state, the smallest gap in its group. Franklin Elementary had the group’s lowest ELA score at 22%, while Garfield Elementary had the lowest math and science scores, at 14% and 12%.

Among the same five schools observed across both years, average ELA and math scores rose by about 3 percentage points each from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; their average gaps to state narrowed by 2 points in ELA and 1 point in math. Science edged down, while its average gap to state widened from 18 to 22 points. Martin R. Heninger Elementary improved in all three subjects and led its 2025–2026 group in science, though it remained 16 points below state. SchoolDigger gave El Sol 3 stars and Orange County Educational Arts Academy 2; its 2025–2026 rankings placed Davis at the 30th percentile, versus Garfield at the 9th and Franklin at the 10th. All eight schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025: rates ranged from 52% at El Sol to 92.8%–94.5% at four schools, a context measure that does not by itself explain achievement.
