An overview of Cudahy public schools
The federal directory lists 5 public schools in Cudahy, CA: 4 elementary, 1 combined or other. The 5 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 3,551 students, an average of 710 per school. The largest campus is Elizabeth Learning Center (1,257 students), and the largest elementary school is Ellen Ochoa Learning Center (1,052).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 20.2:1, lower than the statewide school median of 21.6:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 97% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
