Summary

Unsworth (Edith) Elementary serves 633 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Downey, California, and its 2025–26 results were above state averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Math is the school’s clearest strength: its 60% proficiency rate was the highest among nine nearby schools with comparable results and 16 percentage points above Downey Unified.

Compared with nearby schools, Unsworth ranked first in math, second in ELA, and third in science. Its math proficiency was 60%, versus 44% for nearby schools on average and 38% statewide. ELA was 57%, above the state’s 49% and the nearby-school average of 51%, but essentially level with the district’s 57%; Price (Maude) Elementary was just ahead among nearby schools. Science was also above the state and district, at 45%, but ranked behind Price and Magee Academy of Arts & Sciences. Attendance is a concern to watch: chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2025–26, higher than the state’s 18% and the district’s 20%, though well below Unsworth’s 34% in 2021–22.

Across the four years from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency rose from 57% to 60% and science from 39% to 45%, while ELA edged down from 58% to 57%.

Its latest student–teacher ratio was 21.8 in 2024–25, and 75% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year.
