Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25
Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Orange County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.
Oxford Academy is shrinking (-4.1%) but Orange County is shrinking faster (-7.1%), so Oxford Academy is winning roughly 3.0 pp of relative market share. Combined with 98.8% stability (county median 91.8%), this reflects a school that families actively chose during a market contraction. Replicable model — worth documenting what's working.
10 of 821 students who enrolled at Oxford Academy this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (1.2% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.
Stability by student group
Nearest peer high schools
Source: California Department of Education, Stability Rate 2024-25. Benchmarks limited to non-virtual public & charter HS with ≥100 cumulative enrollees so by-design-high-churn continuation schools don't dominate the bottom of the distribution. Cumulative enrollment counts every student on the rolls during the year, so it can exceed peak-day enrollment.
Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25
Share of students missing 10% or more of expected attendance — the leading indicator that often precedes the demand decline shown above. Families disengaging tend to raise absenteeism first, then formally leave. Basis: grades 9–12.
Low and stable absenteeism — students are engaged and showing up. The leading indicator is healthy.

SBAC academic outcomes — grade 11, 2025
Share of grade-11 students meeting or exceeding the California standard on Smarter Balanced ELA and Math. This is the academic-readiness signal that pairs with UC Reach (post-grad outcomes), stability (retention), and absenteeism (engagement). Note: statewide median Math is only ~20% — a school at 20% isn't an outlier; one at 45%+ genuinely is.

District financial profile — Anaheim Union High (FY2020)
From 4 years of NCES F-33 filings (the federally-mandated district finance survey). Public schools don't have their own books — the district does. These figures show the financial scale, revenue dependence, instruction-vs-overhead mix, and long-term debt that shape what a school can sustain.
Local: 29.4%
Federal: 12.8%
Source: NCES F-33 Annual Survey of School System Finances (Urban Institute Education Data API). Latest year currently published: FY2020. F-33 is a district-level federal filing — it reflects the Anaheim Union High as a whole, not this individual school's books. Revenue mix shows where the district's dollars come from (state aid dominates in CA via LCFF). Instruction share is current expenditure on instruction ÷ total current expenditure (national benchmark ~60%). Long-term debt is end-of-year outstanding (mostly facilities bonds).

Higher than 98% of California high schools (1105 ranked, ≥50 seniors)
Oxford Academy's UC Reach of 84.1% clears the statewide top-10% cutoff (53.3%) — meaning roughly 84 top-6 UC admits per 100 seniors, well above what most California schools achieve.
In Orange County — a competitive market where the median is already 25.0% — this still clears the county top-10% bar (71.2%).
For context, the elite tier (top 1%) clears 102.7% — a gap of 19 pp from where this school sits.
Overall, Oxford Academy's UC Reach is higher than 98% of California high schools (1105 ranked).
Oxford Academy — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot
Public · Cypress · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools
- ▸On UC Reach, Oxford Academy sits near the top of its similar-school group (ranked #1 of 10): 84% vs. a peer median of 13%.
- ▸Its UC Reach has slipped 26 points since 2018 — worth watching.
- ▸Senior-class enrollment is down 4% (193→185 from 2018 to 2026), outpacing the peer-group median of -17%.
- ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Orange County's senior population shrank 7% over the same window — Oxford Academy only shrank 4%. So Oxford Academy picked up about 3 percentage points of relative share — families chose it over the alternatives even as the overall pool got smaller. That's overperforming the market in a shrinking market.
- ▸Enrollment has been growing (+1.4%/yr); projects to ~1409 by 2029.
