Windsor Village Rankings
School Districts Serving Windsor Village
Santa Ana Unified School District is a district in transition, earning a 3/5 due to its distinct 'split' personality and significant fiscal pressures. While it manages to produce elite results at flagship institutions like Middle College High and successfully secured a $350 million modernization bond, the operational health is strained by a decade-long 28% enrollment drop and a massive block of underperforming elementary and intermediate schools. Proficiency rates remain low, and chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue; however, stable leadership and positive trends in graduation and college readiness prevent the district from falling into the 'Distressed' category. It remains an average performer that is effectively a 'tale of two districts' regarding its internal academic consistency.
