Summary

West Creek Academy is a K–6 school in Valencia, California, serving 983 students in the Saugus Union School District. In the latest results, for 2025–2026, it stood out among the 10 nearby schools: it had the highest English and math proficiency, and the second-highest science proficiency. The most important finding is that West Creek’s results are strong across all three subjects, not just one.

West Creek led nearby schools in English, with 81% proficient, and math, with 80%; it ranked second in science, at 75%, behind Tesoro del Valle Elementary at 79%. Its results were also above district and state levels in every subject: English was 67% in the district and 49% statewide, while math was 63% and 38%, and science was 59% and 36%. The relative dip is fourth-grade English: 75%, below the school’s third-grade result of 89% and behind Charles Helmers Elementary and Emblem Academy. Even so, it was 11 points above the district and 29 points above the state.

Over the longer term, proficiency rose from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026 by 1 point in English, 3 in math, and 8 in science, although all three subjects fell from their 2024–2025 results. SchoolDigger ranked West Creek in the 97th statewide percentile and gave it 5 stars in 2025–2026; it had the highest nearby percentile, though three other nearby schools also had 5 stars. Context includes its nearby-high student-teacher ratio of 28.9 in 2024–2025 and a free/reduced lunch eligible rate of 20% that year, the lowest among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Multi-racial Students was 81, 16 points below the school’s overall percentile of 97, indicating lower relative standing in how well it serves that group.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Saturday, April 16, 2016

Teachers need training. Some still have pets and award only those they prefer. Principal and Assistant Principal have kids there, and many Teachers who add to overcrowding, and they win awards, take all the daycare spots and don't live in the community. Gate is anyone who studied for the test or your mom is a Gate teacher. Some teachers are really nice, but others think they know everything and they're not trained well. Bad attitude. Many in the community want to and cant wait to send their kids to private school as no kids really live in the community that go there. Lots of Asians and Hispanics that don't live in community, spoiled majority kids with parents who race past the crossing guard and speed in the parking lot. Fake attitudes around. School just gives homework for the heck of it and extra work at home for no real reason. Needs a shift in teachers, move them to other schools and move out non residents. Close Quote
