High School Academy Application
Students in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District gain an advantage in unique, future-ready academies at each comprehensive high school – El Dorado, Esperanza, Valencia, and Yorba Linda.
2026-2027 Academy Applications
The Academy Application window has now closed and all applications are being reviewed by our school site teams. It is important to note that families who complete an academy application do not need to complete a separate School Choice Transfer Request. Once accepted into an academy, the student will be automatically transferred to that high school.
