Summary

Cyrus J. Morris Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 485 students in Walnut, California, as part of the highly-regarded Walnut Valley Unified school district.

Academically, the school performs well above state averages, with about 64% of students proficient in English and 68% in Math, earning it a 4-star rating. However, within its own high-achieving district, it ranks below nearby peers like Leonard G. Westhoff Elementary and Walnut Elementary. A notable strength is its exceptional effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students and English learners, where it ranks in the 90th percentile statewide. Interestingly, the school spends more per student than its district counterparts but has larger average class sizes.

The analysis reveals a significant "boundary effect," where school district affiliation creates stark differences. While all Walnut Valley Unified schools rank very high, schools just 1-2 miles away in the neighboring Rowland Unified district, such as Rorimer Elementary, show much lower performance. Parents should note the school's slight ranking decline over recent years and that science scores are a relative weakness compared to English and Math, a pattern common across local schools.
