A Record of Outstanding Student Achievement

  • Top Academic Rankings on California School Dashboard

    OCASA Elementary Laguna Niguel is Blue on all Academic Indicators on the California School Dashboard

  • Ranked 10 out of 10 on California Growth Metric

    In 2021, the California Department of Education released California's Student-Level Growth Model. This model is a way of measuring year-to-year student growth based on their CAASPP scores in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics. OCASA Schools were designed to maximize individual student growth. While achievement shows us how much a student knows at a given time, growth shows the improvement in student scores from year to year.

    The State of California Growth Model shows an aggregate score of 114.0 in ELA and 109.3 in Math for OCASA Charter. A growth score of 100 means that students made 1 year of growth. OCASA student growth clearly demonstrates high performance.

    For ELA we have a 10/10 decile score and for Math, we have an 8/10 decile score. All subgroups have strong growth scores (range 93.9 to 124.8) and decile scores that are all 9 or 10.

  • Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges

    OCASA's Elementary School & OCASA College Prep are both Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Parent and Student Testimonials

Group 1000004288-1
One of the things I love most about OCASA is the incredible sense of community. The level of parent involvement creates a warm and supportive environment where families truly feel connected. My daughter looks forward to school every day, which speaks volumes about the engaging learning experience and caring teachers. We chose OCASA because it fosters curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning while making every child feel valued. It’s a special place, and we’re so grateful to be part of it!
Kristen L.
OCASA is such a special place for education! It feels like “home” to our kids who have attended since Kindergarten. OCASA provides a warm and welcoming environment that educates and lets our kids thrive using creativity, hands-on learning, small class sizes, and teachers and staff who truly love what they do! The entire team at OCASA cares about our kids and makes it a priority to provide a safe and happy learning environment. Thank you, OCASA for being the absolute best!
Whitney M.
Our oldest started reading before he turned 4. At this point, we knew we needed a school with programming that could challenge him and continue his curiosity. We choose OCASA for a myriad of reasons: their Individual Learning Plans, mixed-aged classrooms, STEM classes, and Spanish. It also came highly recommended by some close friends of ours during our search for a school. OCASA has given us reassurance that we chose the right school for our children.
Steve L.
Our experience with OCASA has been great from the start. The teachers and staff are experienced and caring, and the STEAM curriculum is effective. Our boys look forward to school every day.
