Summary:
In the 92867 zip code of Orange, California, there is one public middle school, Yorba Middle, serving grades 7-8 within the Orange Unified School District.
Yorba Middle serves a student population with high economic need, and its academic performance shows a mixed picture. While its English Language Arts scores are close to the state average, proficiency in mathematics and science falls significantly below both state and district averages. Notably, the school has shown a positive trend in its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from the 30th to the 47th percentile, indicating improvement relative to other California middle schools.
Key areas for consideration include a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the district average and a noticeable drop in student performance from 7th to 8th grade. The school's per-student spending is above the national average, but outcomes suggest focused strategies may be needed to address the substantial gaps in math and science achievement compared to the rest of the Orange Unified district.
