Summary

Ray M. Schmitt Elementary serves 314 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Westminster, California, within the Westminster district. The most important finding is that in 2025–2026 the school scored below the state, district and nearby-school averages in ELA, math and science—and had the lowest ELA result among 10 nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s clearest weakness against nearby schools: 41% of students were proficient, compared with a nearby-school average of 57%, and every nearby school scored higher. Ray Schmitt was third-lowest in math, at 30% versus a nearby average of 47%, and second-lowest in science, at 22% versus 40%. It also trailed the state by 8 percentage points in ELA, 8 in math and 14 in science, and the district by 14, 14 and 15 points, respectively. Results vary by grade, especially in math: fourth grade was at 42%, nearly matching the state’s 42%, while third grade was at 21%, compared with 47% statewide.

Scores have rebounded in the latest year, but the longer-term picture is mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 5 points, math 5 and science 8; since 2022–2023, ELA is up 4 points, while math is down 2 and science down 3. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 29th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, still below the district’s 67th percentile and 3 stars. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 21.6, compared with a nearby-school average of 23, and 88% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school served homeless students was notably higher than its overall ranking in 2024–2025: the group ranked at the 79th percentile versus 29th overall. In 2025–2026, its ranking for Asian students was lower, at the 18th percentile versus 39th overall.
