West Side Elementary

139^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 98% of California elementary schools

Summary

With 130 students in grades K–6, West Side Elementary serves Healdsburg in the West Side Union Elementary district. In 2025–2026, at least 85% of students were proficient in each reported all-grades subject, and science proficiency was 94%. The school’s results matched its district’s exactly. The most important takeaway is that West Side combines exceptionally strong results across subjects with a particularly notable showing in science.

West Side leads nearby K–6 schools with reported results in all three subjects, and its advantage over California is substantial: 36 percentage points in ELA, 48 in math and 58 in science. Compared with the nearby-school averages, its results were higher by 24 points in ELA, 36 in math and 55 in science. Science is its clearest strength; ELA, while still very strong, is the smallest of those leads. Fifth grade stood out, with 94% proficiency in ELA and science and 100% in math. Sixth-grade ELA was a relative soft spot at 69%—16 points below West Side’s all-grades result and below Alexander Valley Elementary’s 79%—though still above California’s sixth-grade result.

Results have improved considerably over the four reported years: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 9 points in ELA, 18 in math and 57 in science. SchoolDigger gives West Side 5 stars and ranks it 138th of 5,804 schools, at the 98th percentile; its percentile rose 13 points from 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. The student–teacher ratio was 16.2 in 2024–2025, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. With just 130 students, results can shift when a small number of students meet or miss a threshold.
