Summary:
ZIP code 96137 has one listed high school, Westwood High, serving grades 9–12, with 54 students and a 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 10.8. Since it is the only school in the list, there is no meaningful comparison among local schools. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 21% in ELA and 0% in mathematics, compared with 49% and 38% statewide; the most important finding is that results were well below state levels, particularly in mathematics.
