Summary

Thurgood Marshall Elementary serves 511 students in grades K–6 in Lynwood, part of Lynwood Unified. Its results show improvement in some subjects, but chronic absenteeism remains high: 32% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, 14 points above the state rate. The clearest academic concern is mathematics, where the school performed well below nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools, science is the school’s strongest subject relative to its district, while math is its weakest against local peers. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 22%—5 points above the district, 2 points below the nearby-school average, and 14 points below the state. ELA was 37%, 1 point above the district but 5 points below nearby schools and 12 points below the state. Math was 22%, nearly level with the district but 14 points below nearby schools and 16 points below the state; it ranked 9th of 11 local schools. Results also vary by grade: fourth-grade ELA was 43%, above the district’s 33%, while sixth-grade ELA was 30%, below the district’s 39%.

Over time, ELA and science have improved, but math has made almost no net progress: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 14 points and science 10, while math’s net gain was less than one point and its gap to the state widened by 3 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 4,120th of 5,804 statewide, at the 29th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026; its percentile has risen 11 points since 2022–2023. The student-teacher ratio was 25.5 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools, whose average was 20.5. The school reported 93% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 92%. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing was lower for Special Education Students, at the 13th percentile, while its Female Students percentile rose from 20 to 35 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026.
