Summary

Westport Elementary serves 364 students in grades K–6 in the Modesto area, within Ceres Unified. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 91%, about 4 percentage points above the nearby-school average. In 2025–26, proficiency was 28% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math, and 17% in science; the most important finding is that results were below California averages in all three subjects, with the largest gap in ELA.

Math is Westport’s strongest subject relative to its district: its 24% result was just 1 percentage point below the district’s, while ELA was 11 points lower and science 11 points lower. Compared with nearby schools, Westport was 6 points below the ELA average, 1 point below the math average, and slightly above the science average (17.3% versus 17.2%). Within the school, ELA was stronger in grades 3 and 6 (35% and 31%) than in grades 4 and 5 (22% and 21%). So, although math is closest to local and district benchmarks, ELA—especially in grades 4 and 5—is the clearest concern.

Math and science have improved substantially since 2022–23, rising 11 and 14 percentage points, respectively; ELA rose just 2 points, and its gap with the state widened by about 1 point. Science dipped from 19% in 2024–25 to 17% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks Westport 4,620 of 5,804 statewide, in the 20th percentile with 1 star; among the nearby schools with current percentiles, it ranks third-lowest. Its student-teacher ratio is 24.2:1, compared with a nearby-school average of 22.56:1. SchoolDigger’s 2023–24 ranking indicates a stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students (39th percentile, rank 1,934 of 3,162) than for the school overall (17th percentile); its Migrant Students ranking was notably weaker, at the 0th percentile (74 of 74). Chronic absenteeism fell from 29% in 2022–23 to 17% in 2025–26. These comparisons describe school context, not causes of student results.
