Summary

Whitmore Charter School of Art & Technology serves 435 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Ceres, in the Ceres Unified area. In 2025–26, its results were above the district in all three tested subjects, and it ranked near the top among nine nearby schools with results for the same year. The key takeaway is that Whitmore was below California in ELA and math, but above the state in science.

Compared with nearby schools, Whitmore was third of 10 in ELA and math and second of 10 in science. Its results were 43% in ELA, 31% in math, and 42% in science, versus averages of 31%, 24%, and 22% at the other nine schools. It also outperformed the district in each subject: by 4 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 13 in science. Against state results, however, it was 7 points behind in ELA and math, while science was 6 points higher. Fifth grade stands out as a strength: ELA was 52% and math 44%, both above state and district results. Third- and fourth-grade ELA, and third- and seventh-grade math, were notably weaker. Because Whitmore serves K–8 while most nearby schools serve K–6, all-grade comparisons may reflect different grade mixes.

Results over time are uneven: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 17 points, math was essentially unchanged, and science rose 12 points. In the latest year, ELA fell 8 points and math 4, while science rose 10. SchoolDigger’s statewide rating also declined, from the 65th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–24 to the 48th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26, though it was still second-highest among the nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Whitmore serves White students was at the 28th percentile, 20 points below its overall percentile. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19.6, the lowest among nearby schools, compared with their 24.1 average. Whitmore reported 49% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; California is flagged as a statewide-free-meals state, so this school-reported figure is useful context, not an explanation of results.
