Summary:
The 92804 zip code in Anaheim, California, is served by 20 public schools across five districts, educating students from kindergarten through 12th grade in a mix of 12 elementary, 2 middle, and 6 high schools, including one virtual academy.
Parents will find a varied educational landscape where elementary schools generally outperform secondary schools. Standout elementary options include Walt Disney and Dr. Albert Schweitzer Leadership Academy, which achieve strong rankings despite serving many economically disadvantaged students. The top-ranked school overall is the online Cambridge Virtual Academy, a high school with exceptional academic results. However, traditional high schools like Loara High and Western High show a concerning gap, with very high graduation rates but much lower proficiency in core subjects like math.
Performance differs notably by district, with the Centralia Elementary and Savanna Elementary districts showing stronger results than others. Schools facing significant challenges include the continuation Gilbert High and Dale Junior High. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better outcomes here, but lower chronic absenteeism is consistently linked to stronger academic performance across all schools.
