Summary

Morningside is a 477-student K–5 elementary school in Delano, part of the Delano Union Elementary district. Its 2025–26 results show a clear subject-by-subject split: science is a strength, while ELA is the most important area for families to watch because proficiency is below both the state and district.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Morningside stands out most in science: its 40% proficiency rate led the comparable group and was 11 points above their average. It ranked third in ELA and math, with results 6 points and 1 point above the nearby-school averages, respectively; Harvest Elementary and Terrace scored higher in ELA, while Harvest and Nueva Vista Language Academy scored higher in math. Against state and district results, Morningside’s science was 4 points above the state and 9 above the district. Its ELA was 4 points below both, while math was about 1 point above each.

Longer-term results are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 47% to 45% and math from 40% to 39%, while the state improved in both subjects. Science rose from 39% to 40%, including a rebound from 34% in 2024–25. SchoolDigger ranks Morningside at the 56th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 66th percentile in 2023–24. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22, the highest reported among nearby schools, and 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable subgroup result is Special Education Students: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well the school serves this group fell from 28 to 6 between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while the overall percentile was 56.
