Summary

Cyrus J. Morris Elementary serves 485 students in grades K–5 in Walnut, within the Walnut Valley Unified area.

Across all 11 nearby schools, Morris ranks fifth in ELA and third in math and science.

Results have edged up since 2022–23, but progress has been modest and uneven: ELA rose about 1 percentage point, math 2 points and science 5 points.
