Summary:
Westmorland Union Elementary has one school, Westmorland Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade, with 304 students. In 2025–26, the school’s all-grades proficiency was below California’s in every subject: 30% versus 49% in English language arts (ELA), 17% versus 38% in mathematics, and 14% versus 36% in science. The gaps were 20, 21, and 22 percentage points, respectively, making science the largest shortfall. The most important finding is that results lagged the state across all three subjects.
Within the school, third-grade ELA stands out: 54% were proficient, 10 points above the state’s 44%. But results vary sharply by grade, and fifth grade is a particular concern: 6% in ELA compared with 49% statewide, and 0% in mathematics compared with 37%. Third-grade mathematics was 37%, still 10 points below the state’s 47%; in science, eighth grade scored 21% and fifth grade 6%. Because this is the only school listed, these are grade-level contrasts rather than comparisons between schools.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in all three subjects, but the school gained ground on California in ELA and mathematics while falling further behind in science: its ELA and math gaps narrowed by 2 and 3 points, while the science gap widened by 3 points. SchoolDigger ranks the district 876th of 968, in the 10th percentile with zero stars; its school history shows improvement from the 3rd to the 18th percentile and from zero to one star between 2023–24 and 2025–26. Other context includes a 16.5:1 student–teacher ratio and 95% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism was 35% in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide.
