SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 31% of California elementary schools

Summary

Tomorrow's Leadership Collaborative (TLC) Charter is a 192-student K–6 school in Orange and the smallest of the nearby schools compared here. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were below state and district levels in ELA, math and science, and below nearby K–6 averages in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that TLC trails all three comparison groups across every tested subject, with its largest nearby-school gap in science.

ELA is TLC’s strongest subject relative to comparisons, while science is its weakest. TLC’s proficiency was 38% in ELA, 24% in math and 20% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. It was 12, 14 and 16 percentage points below the state, respectively. Compared with Orange Unified, where results were 59% in ELA, 47% in math and 47% in science, TLC was 22, 23 and 27 points lower. Its results were also 4 points below nearby K–6 schools’ ELA average, 7 points below their math average and 13 points below their science average. The nearby averages were 42%, 32% and 33%.

Results have improved over the longer term, though progress varies by subject: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 9 points and science rose 12, while math increased 3 points and its state gap widened slightly, from 13.7 to 13.9 points. SchoolDigger ranked TLC at the 31st percentile in 2025–26, up from the 13th percentile the prior year, and gave it 2 stars. Its 21.3-to-1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 was lower than every nearby school’s; 71% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking of how well TLC served male students was at the 50th percentile, compared with 31st overall. Its ranking for how well it served students with low socioeconomic status rose from the 9th to the 37th percentile between 2024–25 and 2025–26. TLC’s small enrollment means individual-grade results may reflect relatively small groups.
