Summary

Westlake Charter is a K–12 alternative school serving 1,493 students in Sacramento’s Natomas area, within Natomas Unified. Its clearest academic strength is science, while its math results are only just above the state level: in 2025–2026, 51% of students were proficient in science, compared with 36% statewide, while 39% were proficient in math, compared with 38% statewide.

Westlake performed above both its district and the state in all three subjects in 2025–2026, but the size of that advantage varied: ELA proficiency was 58% (9 percentage points above the state and 15 above the district), science was 51% (15 and 17 points above), and math was 39% (1 and 8 points above). Westlake also compared well with nearby schools: in 2024–2025 it ranked second among nearby schools with results in each subject, behind Natomas Charter. Its scores were 18 points above the nearby-school average in ELA, 19 points above in math, and 20 points above in science.

Math is the main trend to watch: proficiency fell 6 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and the advantage over the state shrank from 10 points to 1. ELA ended 1 point lower than it began, while science was roughly unchanged overall after a dip and rebound. Attendance improved: chronic absenteeism fell 13 points between 2021–2022 and 2025–2026, to 13%. For context, Westlake’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.6, below the nearby-school average of 30.4, and 32% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 78% that year. The supplied SchoolDigger ranking and star rating are for Natomas Unified (526 of 968, 46th percentile, two stars); a school-level rating for Westlake is not provided.
