Summary

Star View Elementary is a 391-student K–5 school in Westminster, part of the Ocean View district. In 2025–26, its proficiency was 73% in English language arts (ELA), 74% in math and 55% in science. The clearest takeaway for families is that Star View performs well across all three subjects: it was above the state and district in each, and ranked third among 10 nearby schools in each subject.

Math is Star View’s strongest relative subject, while science is its least pronounced advantage. Its math proficiency was 74%, compared with 38% statewide and 50% in the district; it was also 23 points above the nearby-school average of 52%. In ELA, 73% proficiency was 23 points above the state, 16 points above the district and 15 points above the nearby average of 58%. Science proficiency was 55%, beating the state by 19 points and the district by 7; it was 13 points above the nearby average of 42%. Fifth-grade math is a watchpoint: proficiency fell from 81% in fourth grade to 63% in fifth, though fifth grade remained above the state and district.

Results have risen overall since 2022–23: ELA increased 13 percentage points, math 6 points and science 4 points. Science fluctuated, however, falling from 63% in 2024–25 to 55% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger rates Star View in the 90th statewide percentile, with five stars, up from the 78th percentile in 2021–22; only Ethan B. Allen Elementary and Tamura (Hisamatsu) Elementary ranked higher nearby. Other context: its student-teacher ratio was 24.4 in 2024–25, and 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the third-lowest rate among nine nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show particularly strong standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 97th percentile in 2025–26, versus 90th overall. Its standing for Asian Students was lower, at the 46th percentile.

Open Quote I sent my daughter to this school 10 years ago and had a great experience at the time.

However, I decided to send my son to this school starting Kindergarten. The Kid's Club childcare was still amazing. It even had the same two main women working, who are incredibly hardworking and wonderful.

However, my son had an awful experience the entire year. I believe it was the newest, or at least a newer Kindergarten teacher.

Take my advice and stay far away from this teacher. She's incredibly unprofessional and unhelpful, and I've never had a worse experience with a school/teacher before. If you want your child to feel comfortable and have education presented in a welcoming environment, make sure to request someone else. Close Quote
