Morningside High

Better than 22% of California schools

Summary

Morningside High is a public high school serving about 407 students in grades 9-12 within the Inglewood Unified School District, an area where many families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school faces significant hurdles, with student proficiency in core subjects like English, math, and science far below state averages; for example, only about 22% of students are proficient in English and 14% in math. This performance is notably lower than several nearby charter schools, such as Middle College High and Lennox Mathematics Science and Technology Academy, which serve similar student populations but achieve much higher results. However, Morningside High does maintain a graduation rate close to the state average, and it has made recent progress in reducing chronic student absences.

The school's support for specific student groups, like those in special education, has been inconsistent from year to year. While it operates with a lower student-teacher ratio than some higher-performing neighbors, its outcomes suggest challenges that may be connected to broader district-level factors. The stark contrast with successful nearby schools indicates that improvement is possible, offering a potential roadmap for the school's future.
