Summary

Finley Elementary is a K–5 school serving 316 students in Westminster, California. In 2025–26, 46% of students were proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), 30% in math, and 25% in science. The school scored below both the state and Westminster district in all three subjects; math was the largest shortfall, at 9 points below the state and 14 below the district.

ELA is Finley’s strongest subject in comparisons with the state and district: its 46% rate was 3 points below the state and 8 below the district. Math was its weakest, while science was also below both. Compared with 10 nearby schools, Finley was below the average in every subject: nearby averages were 61% in ELA, 52% in math, and 44% in science, putting Finley 15, 23, and 19 points lower, respectively. Its ELA result was higher than three nearby schools; its math result was second-lowest and its science result third-lowest. Overall, Finley ranked fourth-lowest among the 11 schools.

Results have improved since 2022–23, but math has barely risen: ELA increased from 41% to 46%, science from 12% to 25%, and math from 28% to 30%. Meanwhile, the math gap to the state widened from 6 to 9 points. SchoolDigger places Finley at the 44th percentile statewide, with 2 stars; its rank recovered 6 points from 2023–24 but remains 30 points below its 2014–15 level. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 22.5:1, and 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s 2023–24 statewide effectiveness ranking was notably higher for English Language Learner Students (68th percentile) than for the school overall (38th), and lower for Asian Students (13th percentile).
