Post Elementary

Post Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 338 students in Westminster, California, as part of the Garden Grove Unified School District, and it consistently achieves strong academic results while serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, the school outperforms both district and state averages, with 67% of students proficient in math and 62.56% proficient in English Language Arts. A standout strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, whose performance ranks in the top 2% of schools statewide. The school also excels in managing student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.1%, which is far lower than the state average and a key factor in its success. This is particularly impressive compared to nearby schools like Rosita Elementary and Leo Carrillo Elementary, which serve similar populations but have lower proficiency rates.

When compared to other local schools, Post Elementary delivers remarkable value. It achieves results rivaling or exceeding those of schools like Merton E. Hill Elementary and Morningside Elementary while spending less per student. While top-performing neighbors like A. G. Cook Elementary have higher test scores, they often serve a less economically disadvantaged population. For over a decade, Post Elementary has maintained a stable 4-star rating, demonstrating its consistent commitment to effective education for all its students.
