Summary

TEACH Prep Mildred S. Cunningham & Edith H. Morris Elementary serves 271 students in grades K–5 in Los Angeles, California. Its latest results show stronger math than English language arts (ELA), but attendance stands out as the most urgent concern: chronic absenteeism was 47% in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide, and was higher than every nearby school with a reported figure.

Math is a local strength: 40% of students were proficient in 2025–26, about 2 points above the state rate and the Los Angeles Unified benchmark; the school had the highest math result among eight nearby schools with comparable scores. ELA proficiency was 30%, 19 points below the state and fifth among those nearby schools, though about 2 points above their average. Results also vary sharply by grade: fourth-grade math proficiency was 59%, while third-grade math was 22%; in ELA, fourth grade reached 46%, compared with 15% in third grade.

Scores have improved over time: math rose from 7% in 2022–23 to 40% in 2025–26, while ELA increased from 17% to 30%, despite a dip in between. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 overall standing was the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, up from the 5th percentile in 2021–22; these rankings do not erase the continuing ELA and attendance concerns. The student-teacher ratio was 27.1:1 in 2024–25, the highest among nearby schools with reported figures. The school reported that 69% of students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile was notably higher for Hispanic Students (64th percentile) than the school’s overall 42nd, while its Female Students percentile was lower, at 17th.
