About St. Barbara Elementary
St. Barbara Elementary is a private elementary school in Santa Ana, CA. St.
Barbara Elementary serves approximately 162 students, and covers grades Kindergarten-8th, and has a 13.5:1 student-teacher ratio. MySchoolScout does not publish a rating for this profile because there is not enough verified data to rate it fairly. Based on limited data: 0% component coverage.
What Parents Should Know
At 162 students, St. Barbara Elementary is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
St. Barbara Elementary is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.
