Summary:
Zip code 92805 in Anaheim, California, contains one public middle school, Sycamore Junior High, which serves grades 7 and 8 within the Anaheim Union High school district.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 6% of all California middle schools for the last three years. Student proficiency rates are far below average, with only 17% proficient in English and 7% in math, compared to state averages of 49% and 37%, respectively. A particularly concerning trend is that student performance drops sharply from 7th to 8th grade, with 8th grade math proficiency falling to under 4%.
Several factors are notable at Sycamore Junior High, including a very high rate of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and a chronic absenteeism rate of 27%, which is well above the state average. Despite per-student spending that is higher than the California average, these resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need for targeted support and intervention to help students succeed.
