Summary

Westside Elementary is a K-5 public school in Cedar Park, TX, serving 504 students within the highly-rated Leander Independent School District (Isd). The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, reflecting stable leadership and effective instruction. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 and a very low free/reduced lunch rate of 9.92%, Westside serves a relatively affluent community and stands out as a top-tier option among its public-school neighbors.

Westside’s most impressive strength is its exceptional 5th-grade performance, which serves as a strong indicator of how well the school prepares students for middle school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 91.95% of 5th graders were proficient in Reading and 64.04% in Math—far exceeding district and state averages. This "5th Grade Effect" is consistent, with Reading scores above 80% for three consecutive years. The school also excels with specific student groups: it ranks in the 93rd percentile for English Language Learners (ELL), earning a 5-star rating, and has shown rapid improvement for low socio-economic status (SES) students, jumping from the 47th to the 85th percentile in just two years. Compared to nearby schools like C C Mason Elementary (68th percentile) and Pauline Naumann Elementary (62nd percentile), Westside is the second-highest performer in its cluster, behind only Deer Creek Elementary (96th percentile). However, Westside shows a stronger upward trajectory, actively closing gaps for vulnerable students.

While Westside is a consistent performer, there are areas to watch. Performance for Multi-Racial students is highly volatile, likely due to a small sample size, and Gifted & Talented (G/T) student rankings have dipped from the 72nd to the 52nd percentile, suggesting the school may need to focus more on enrichment for its highest achievers. It’s also important to note that Basis Cedar Park Pri, a charter school nearby, ranks in the 100th percentile but operates under a different educational model and is not a direct peer. Overall, Westside’s decade-long stability and strong subgroup support make it a reliable choice for families seeking a well-rounded elementary education.
