Summary:
The Westbrook Academy District consists of a single public school, Westbrook Academy, serving grades 6-12 in South Gate, California, with an enrollment of 409 students.
Westbrook Academy has shown significant improvement in its statewide academic ranking over the past few years, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating. However, current test scores in English, math, and science remain below state averages, with a notable exception: 11th graders perform close to the state average in English. The school invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending well above the typical amount for California schools.
Key challenges for the school include a very high rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is more than double the state average, and a graduation rate slightly below the state average. The student population has a high level of economic need. The school's recent ranking gains suggest it is making progress, and focusing on improving attendance could be crucial for further boosting student achievement and graduation outcomes.
