The school is part of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, which is ranked 277 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a well-ranked district, El Camino Real Continuation High consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of California high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 10% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 68.91% for the district and 55.73% for the state.

When compared to nearby high schools within the same district, such as Yorba Linda High, Valencia High, and El Dorado High, the performance gap is significant.

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.
