Santiago Middle

Santiago Middle sits in the heart of Orange, a city that blends Southern California sunshine with a genuine small-town feel — think tree-lined streets, a charming historic plaza, and neighborhoods where kids still ride bikes after school. As a charter school within Orange Unified, it draws families who want a bit more intentionality in their child's education, and its solid mid-60s performance across English, math, and science puts it comfortably above the majority of California middle schools. It's a good fit for families planting roots in the 92869 zip code who want a dependable academic environment during those pivotal 7th and 8th grade years.
