Better than 13% of California elementary schools

Summary

Tomorrow's Leadership Collaborative (TLC) Charter is a small K-6 elementary school in Orange, CA, serving 192 students within its own charter district.

Academically, TLC Charter consistently performs below state averages, with particularly low proficiency in math (15%) and science (16%). The school's statewide ranking has been very unstable, swinging from the 1st percentile to the 31st and back down to the 13th percentile in recent years. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over 26% of students missing significant school, a rate higher than the state average and most nearby schools in the Orange Unified district, such as Sycamore Elementary (22%) and McPherson Magnet (5%).

Compared to neighboring schools, TLC Charter spends significantly more per student—$20,902 versus $15,500 to $17,735 at others—yet achieves poorer results. For example, while TLC's math proficiency is 15%, nearby McPherson Magnet achieves 56% and La Veta Elementary achieves 54%. Its performance is most similar to the very nearby Cambridge Elementary, but lags behind many other local schools that serve similar student populations.
