Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) was recognized as a 2025 California Honor Roll District and 38 of the district’s schools were named 2025 Honor Roll Schools, more than any other school district in Orange County.

This year, 158 school districts made the list, approximately 20% of districts in the state.

Honor Roll districts and schools are comprehensively higher performing on state test scores in English and Math for all student populations served and demonstrate improving outcomes for historically underserved student populations. 

The 38 GGUSD schools named to the 2025 California Honor Roll include Allen, Anthony, Barker Cook, Enders, Evans, Excelsior, Faylane, Garden Park, Hazard, Hill, Marshall, Monroe, Morningside, Murdy, Northcutt, Paine, Patton, Parkview, Peters, Simmons, Stanford, Stanley, Sunnyside, and Warren, elementary schools, Alamitos, Bell, Doig, Irvine,  Jordan, Lake, McGarvin, Ralston and Walton intermediate schools, and Bolsa Grande, Garden Grove, La Quinta and Pacifica high schools.

“It is inspiring to see our schools and students achieving at such high levels,” said Board of Education Trustee Teri Rocco. “We are proud to serve as a model district with teachers and staff who create classrooms that empower students to succeed.”

The Honor Roll program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promoting best practices that improve student outcomes.
