Summary

Demille Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 562 students in Midway City, part of the Westminster School District, that has shown remarkable and steady academic improvement over the past decade.

This school stands out as a top performer within its district, with student test scores in English and math consistently above both district and state averages. What's particularly impressive is how well Demille supports its students, as evidenced by one of the lowest chronic absenteeism rates in the area and exceptional academic results for English Language Learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school is a leader in the Westminster district, interesting comparisons exist just blocks away; for instance, Star View Elementary in the neighboring Ocean View district achieves similarly high results with a comparable student population.

Demille's consistent upward trajectory suggests strong, sustainable teaching practices. However, parents should note there are some variations in performance by grade level, with upper elementary grades excelling in English, and science scores being a relative area for growth compared to the school's strengths in other core subjects. The school achieves these strong outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than some nearby schools like Anderson Elementary or John Marshall Elementary while delivering superior academic results.
