Anaheim Elementary

The Anaheim Elementary school district in California serves 24 elementary schools, providing education for students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district encompasses a diverse range of school performance, with several standout institutions leading the way in academic achievement.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Franklin (Benjamin) Elementary, Stoddard (Alexander J.) Elementary, Madison (James) Elementary, and Jefferson (Thomas) Elementary. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with some grade levels exceeding 50% proficiency. In contrast, several schools, such as Ponderosa Elementary, Roosevelt (Theodore) Elementary, and Westmont Elementary, struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which can significantly impact student learning and achievement.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower proficiency rates. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the strong performance of the Anaheim Elementary Online Academy suggests that virtual learning models can be effective in providing quality education, particularly for students who may face obstacles in a traditional school setting.
