Orange Grove Elementary

Summary:

Orange Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Anaheim, California, serving 575 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Anaheim Elementary District, which is ranked 1218 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, Orange Grove Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school faces significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.0% in 2018-2019 to 33.1% in the current school year. Academically, Orange Grove Elementary underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 24.38% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 28.2% in the district and 47.04% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who perform significantly lower than state averages.

When comparing Orange Grove Elementary to nearby schools within the Anaheim Elementary District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming relative to its peers. For example, Stoddard (Alexander J.) Elementary and Jefferson (Thomas) Elementary, both within a mile of Orange Grove, consistently outperform the school in academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. The combination of high poverty, high chronic absenteeism, and consistently low academic achievement at Orange Grove Elementary suggests that the school may face significant challenges in terms of resources, staffing, and community engagement, which will need to be addressed to drive meaningful improvements.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
