Summary:
Five Points, California, has one listed school, Westside Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8 with 135 students. With no other local school, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. In 2025–2026, Westside was below California in all three all-grade subjects: ELA was 41% versus 49% statewide, math was 20% versus 38%, and science was 16% versus 36%; the most important finding is that science had the largest state gap, at 20 percentage points.
Westside Elementary is both the area’s only school and its only result, rather than a local leader or trailer. Its strongest all-grade subject relative to the state was ELA, with an 8-point shortfall; science and math were farther behind, by 20 and 19 points. Grade-level results show an important exception: sixth-grade ELA reached 67%, 19 points above the state’s 48%. By contrast, fourth-grade math was 5%, 37 points below the state’s 42%, and math was below state results in every reported grade.
Results improved relative to the state in ELA and math but worsened in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Westside’s ELA rose 4 points and its gap narrowed from 11 to 8 points; math rose 4 points and its gap narrowed from 22 to 19 points. Science fell 7 points while the state rose 3, widening the gap from 10 to 20 points. SchoolDigger ranked Westside in the 20th percentile in 2023–2024, 42nd in 2024–2025, and 36th in 2025–2026—up 16 percentile points over the period, though down 6 in the latest year. Context measures include a 16.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 64% eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 19%, compared with 18% statewide and 23% in the Westside Elementary district. Grade-level results come from different cohorts, so they should be read with care.
