Summary

Westmont Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 441 students in Westminster, California, within the Ocean View School District, and it faces significant academic challenges while serving a community with high economic need.

Academically, the school's performance has been declining and is below most nearby schools. For example, proficiency rates in English and Math (both around 36%) are well below the district average and far behind a school like Star View Elementary (less than a mile away), which has proficiency above 66%. There are also notable gaps within the school; female students perform significantly lower than male students, and while the school has historically been strong with English Learners, that performance has recently dropped. Performance also varies greatly by grade, with fifth-grade scores in math and science being particularly low.

Despite these challenges, the school has made progress in reducing chronic student absences. The data shows that improvement is possible within the same district, as evidenced by higher-performing neighbors like Star View Elementary and College View Elementary. This suggests that Westmont's struggles are not inevitable given its student population, and the school's past success with specific student groups indicates it has effective support systems that could be leveraged for broader improvement.
