Orange County Educational Arts Academy District

The Orange County Educational Arts Academy District consists of a single elementary school, the Orange County Educational Arts Academy, which serves grades K-8. While the school has a relatively large student population of 610, its academic performance and statewide ranking are below average compared to other California elementary schools.

The Orange County Educational Arts Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from School Digger. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST), are generally lower than the statewide averages, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% and a large percentage (66.39%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

While the school has shown some inconsistencies in performance, with 8th-grade students performing better in ELA than other grade levels, the overall data suggests a need for improvement in areas such as curriculum, instruction, and support for students and teachers. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and supporting the school's economically disadvantaged population could also be priorities for the district. Without additional information about other schools in the district, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons or identify standout schools in the area.
