Summary
Westwood Elementary is a K–6 school in Stockton, California, serving 463 students in Lodi Unified. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were below the district and California in English language arts, math and science. The most important concern is science: just 14% of students were proficient, compared with 26% districtwide and 36% statewide.
Math is Westwood’s relative bright spot, while science is its weakest subject. In math, 26% of students were proficient, about 4 percentage points below the district and 12 below the state; in ELA, 30% were proficient, 10 points below the district and 19 below the state. The school also fell short of five nearby K–6 peers’ averages in all three subjects, by about 2 points in ELA, 2 in math and 6 in science. Results differ by grade: fourth-grade math proficiency was 36%, above the district’s 33% and second-highest among eight nearby schools with results. In contrast, third-grade ELA was 17%, and fifth-grade math was 14%, below the district’s 27% for fifth-grade math.
Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 2 percentage points and science rose 1, while ELA slipped 1; state gaps widened in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism improved from 48% in 2021–22 to 30% in 2025–26, but remained above the district’s 24% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked Westwood at the 24th percentile and gave it 1 star in 2025–26, down 13 percentile points from 2021–22. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22, among the lower ratios nearby, and 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable contrast: Asian Students ranked at the 8th percentile in 2025–26, below the school’s overall 24th percentile, while English Language Learner Students ranked at the 79th percentile in 2023–24, compared with 36th overall that year; that ELL result is older and not a current comparison.
