Summary:

This analysis covers 18 public schools in Westminster, California (zip code 92683), serving approximately 11,500 students from kindergarten through 12th grade across four districts: Westminster, Garden Grove Unified, Ocean View, and Huntington Beach Union High.

Academic performance varies significantly between schools and districts. Standout high performers include La Quinta High School and Sarah McGarvin Intermediate, both from the Garden Grove Unified district, ranking in the state's top 5%. Star View Elementary and Susan B. Anthony Elementary are also top-tier elementary schools. On the other end, schools like Schmitt Elementary and Finley Elementary show much lower performance, indicating areas for potential improvement.

Key findings show that schools in the Garden Grove Unified district generally outperform those in the Westminster district, despite serving students with similar economic needs. Interestingly, higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes do not always lead to better outcomes, as seen at Johnson Middle. Attendance is a strong indicator of success, with top schools like Star View Elementary having very low chronic absenteeism. Mathematics is a common challenge area across most schools, and science proficiency drops notably in 12th grade at both high schools.
