Summary

Westside Elementary is a small public school serving 135 students in grades K-8 in Five Points, CA, and it stands out as a school showing impressive recent improvement after years of low rankings.

After consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of California schools, Westside has made a dramatic leap to the 42nd percentile in just two years, with notable gains in English Language Arts and a significant drop in chronic absenteeism to 10.2%, which is much better than the state average and nearby schools like San Joaquin Elementary (30.3%). This turnaround is supported by a high per-student spending of $39,182 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.8 to 1, offering more individual attention than many neighboring schools.

Despite this progress, challenges remain, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency is less than half the state average, and there are wide variations in performance between different grade levels. While Westside now outperforms other schools in its own Westside Elementary district and similar schools like Huron Elementary, it still lags behind higher-performing neighbors such as Akers Elementary and Island Elementary, which achieve stronger academic results with lower per-student spending.
