Summary

Westmont Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 327 students in the Pomona Unified district, operating in a high-need community where it has shown recent academic improvement and notable strengths in specific areas.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional science program, where over 55% of students are proficient, dramatically outperforming both the district and state averages and far exceeding nearly all nearby schools like Kellogg Polytechnic Elementary. Westmont also shows positive momentum in improving student attendance, having cut its chronic absenteeism rate in half over two years to a rate better than the district and most comparison schools, including Madison Elementary. Furthermore, the school is particularly effective with its Hispanic student population, ranking significantly higher for this subgroup than its overall state ranking.

Challenges include inconsistent performance for English Learner students, which has seen recent volatility, and a noticeable performance gap between male and female students. While Westmont spends more per student than surrounding schools, its overall academic ranking is below a nearby school like Ranch Hills Elementary, which achieves higher scores in English Language Arts with lower spending. The school's performance is strongest in the upper grades, especially fifth grade, but reveals a need for targeted support in fourth-grade mathematics.
