We are proud of the impact this work is having on student success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GGUSD serves most of Garden Grove, as well as parts of Anaheim, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Stanton and Westminster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/orangecountytribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue-cutoff.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"50498\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/orangecountytribune.com\/2022\/11\/28\/vote-holdouts-in-rural-arizona\/blue-cutoff\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/orangecountytribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue-cutoff.png?fit=1856%2C262&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1856,262\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Blue cutoff\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/orangecountytribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue-cutoff.png?fit=300%2C42&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/orangecountytribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blue-cutoff.png?fit=639%2C90&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-50498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771704795_973_Blue-cutoff.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"90\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tLike this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/>\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Schools STUDENTS in the GGUSD have shown sustained improvement (Tribune photo).
