Summary:
Five Points, California, is served by a single public school, Westside Elementary, a K-8 school in the Westside Elementary district that enrolls 135 students.
Westside Elementary shows a remarkable story of recent improvement, having dramatically increased its statewide ranking over the past three years from among the lowest-performing schools to near the middle. A major strength is student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of about 10%, which is significantly better than the California average. The school also benefits from high per-student funding, spending roughly $39,000 per pupil.
Academically, the picture is mixed. While the school's English Language Arts performance is approaching the state average, mathematics proficiency is a critical area for improvement, with only about 16% of students meeting state standards. Performance also varies widely by grade; for example, fifth graders perform very well in several subjects, while eighth graders struggle. For parents, this means the school is on a positive trajectory with strong support systems for attendance, but targeted help in math and support for students in the upper grades may be needed.
