Schools

Placentia shares a school district with Yorba Linda to make up the Placentia-Yorba Linda School District. This school district is very large and has an open enrollment policy. However, despite the grandiose size, the school district still earned a 9/10 according to GreatSchools because of the fantastic teaching, many opportunities and positive test results. The school district encompasses a total of 23 elementary schools, 7 middle schools and 7 high schools. The district provides an array of resources for not only students, but parents and staff as well! The schools want to make sure the families as well as the students feel as welcome as possible.
