Orange Unified

The Orange Unified School District in California serves 40 schools, including 27 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 6 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district is home to several standout schools, with Crescent Elementary, Nohl Canyon Elementary, and Panorama Elementary ranking among the top 332 elementary schools in the state. The district also boasts high-performing middle and high schools, such as El Rancho Charter and Canyon High.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district. For example, in 11th grade English Language Arts, Canyon High had 79.84% proficiency, while Orange High had only 32.24% proficiency. Additionally, the district's alternative and continuation schools, such as Richland Continuation High and OUSD Community Day, struggle with low test scores, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism, indicating the need for additional support and resources.

Overall, the Orange Unified School District has a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with the data highlighting both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. The standout schools demonstrate the potential for excellence within the district, while the challenges faced by some schools suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
