Academic achievement

How did students here do on state tests?

81% of the students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English (reading and writing); 60% did in math.

State tests (CAASPP), grade 11, spring 2026

In grade 11, spring 2026, 81% of the 16 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 33% at California alternative schools. In math, 60% of 15 did, against 14% at California alternative schools. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year can swing a lot; ask how results looked in other years.

From spring 2026, the state calls its top two levels “Proficient or Advanced” (formerly “Met or Exceeded”).

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

What you can do

Who can act on OCCS:CHEP/PCHS’ results?

Orange County Department of Education’s board decides OCCS:CHEP/PCHS’ plan.

The state hasn’t placed OCCS:CHEP/PCHS in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source

What has the state flagged?

The state is giving Orange County Department of Education extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 and 2026 California School Dashboards. The 2026 Dashboard flagged results for all students on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for English learners on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for foster youth on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for Hispanic or Latino students on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for homeless students on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for long-term English learners on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for low-income students on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for students with disabilities on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness; and for White students on two measures: graduation, and college and career readiness.

When is the plan set, and how can you take part?

Orange County Department of Education’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.

How to take part

Watch the board’s agenda: the hearing is posted at least 72 hours ahead.
Send written comments on the actions and spending the plan proposes.
Raise questions through the district’s parent advisory committee; the superintendent must answer its comments in writing.
Read the midyear report, due by February 28.

Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2What the law requires, and what to ask

California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.

Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.

If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.

Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition

Graduated in four years: 2024–25 · 57 of 66 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records. Comparison is SchoolScope’s combination of graduates and cohort counts across the reference schools, not CDE’s published state rate.
Ready for college or career (state measure): 2024–25 · 7 of 66 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate. Comparison is SchoolScope’s combination of Prepared students and indicator students across California alternative high schools, not a CDE figure.
Finished the UC/CSU course list: 2024–25 · 10 of 57 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment. Comparison is SchoolScope’s combination of graduates who finished the list across California alternative high schools, not a CDE figure.
Where students who finished high school went: CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

Current 2025–26 grade results are under Academic achievement, in Results for each grade. “Students with scores” counts the students tested in that grade, subject and year. A missing result is not zero, and each year’s row is a different group of children.

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8; here that is grades 4, 5 and 7. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median English estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read the figure against it, not its sign alone. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8; here that is grades 4, 5 and 7, and it is not part of the Scope Score.

Graduation and readinessstate records · each rate for its own year and class of students

Measure	Source record
This school · CCI overall Prepared	CDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · all students in the current four-year graduation cohort, plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. Overall CCI Prepared rate 11% · numerator 7 students classified Prepared · denominator 66 CCI students.

AP pathway among CCI Prepared studentsCDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · AP pathway rate 14% · AP-pathway numerator 1 · denominator 7 (CCI Prepared students). This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 7 of 66 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.

These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $299,517,456 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
