Unsworth (Edith) Elementary

Tucked into the family-friendly city of Downey in southeast Los Angeles County, Edith Unsworth Elementary is one of the stronger elementary options in the area, with particularly solid English and math scores that put it well above the majority of California schools. Downey itself has a tight-knit, suburban feel with a strong sense of community pride — it's the kind of place where families tend to put down roots and stay. This school would be a great fit for parents who want a reliable, high-performing neighborhood school without the intensity of more competitive districts to the west.
