Anaheim Union High

The Anaheim Union High School District in California serves 21 schools, including 13 high schools and 8 middle schools. The district as a whole is ranked 805 out of 1,568 districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Cypress High School is ranked 201 out of 2,323 high schools in California with a 5-star rating, boasting a 97.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.5% dropout rate. John F. Kennedy High School is ranked 239 with a 4-star rating, achieving a 98.2% graduation rate and 1.0% dropout rate. The top-performing school in the district is Oxford Academy, ranked 4th in the state with a perfect 5-star rating, a 98.9% graduation rate, and a 0.5% dropout rate.

In contrast, the district's continuation and alternative schools, such as Gilbert High (Continuation) and Polaris High, struggle with much lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and significantly lower test scores. The middle schools in the district also generally perform worse than the high schools, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. Addressing these disparities and providing additional support to the lower-performing schools could be an important focus for the Anaheim Union High School District moving forward.
