Summary

West Hillsborough is a K–5 elementary school in Hillsborough, California, with 275 students in the Hillsborough City Elementary district. Its 2025–2026 results were well above California averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: about 84%, 85%, and 90% of students were proficient, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. The clearest local distinction is science, where West Hillsborough ranked first among 10 nearby schools.

West Hillsborough is strong across subjects, but its closest district peers edged it in ELA and math while it led in science. Compared with the district, its results were about 2 percentage points lower in ELA (84% versus 86%) and 1 point lower in math (85% versus 86%), but 10 points higher in science (90% versus 79%). Among nearby schools, it ranked fourth in ELA and math. Results also varied by grade: fourth grade was a relative dip, with 73% proficient in ELA and 80% in math, while fifth grade reached 96% and 90%. Fifth-grade math was narrowly above North Hillsborough (89.6% versus 89.5%); fourth-grade results trailed several nearby schools.

Since 2022–2023, ELA has fallen 2 percentage points and math 1, while science has risen 12 points; science alone jumped 18 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. West Hillsborough remains highly ranked: SchoolDigger gives it five stars, placing it 106th of 5,804 California schools at the 98th percentile, though South Hillsborough, North Hillsborough, and Hoover Elementary rank slightly higher. Its student-teacher ratio was 15.3 in 2024–2025, and 3% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger placed White Students at the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025, below the school’s overall 98th percentile; that subgroup ranking recovered to the 92nd percentile in 2025–2026 after reaching the 97th percentile in 2023–2024. Scores can vary by grade, particularly at a school of this size.
