Westside Elementary, CA - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Westside Elementary

Westside Elementary School District is a very small district in Fresno County that serves kindergarten through eighth grade, with a single campus. The district enrolls a small cohort of students, nearly all of whom are Hispanic. The most recent state test results from the district show academic performance well below proficiency across the board.

In English language arts, the district's proficiency varies significantly by grade. Third grade sits at low levels, fourth grade is only modestly higher, and fifth grade shows a notably stronger result. By sixth grade proficiency drops back down to about half of students proficient, seventh grade dips further, and eighth grade falls sharply. Math performance is even more challenging, with third grade proficiency near the bottom and only modest gains through the middle grades; eighth grade math proficiency drops again. Science testing in fifth grade shows less than half of students proficient, and by eighth grade only a small fraction of students meet proficiency on the state science assessment.

The district sits below the midpoint among Fresno County's districts in overall proficiency index, a composite of performance across tested subjects and grades. That said, the district does show a relative strength in chronic absenteeism, placing in the top quartile of county districts on that measure. Per-pupil spending in the district falls in the upper range among county peers, a notable fact that parents may want to explore with the district to understand how those resources are being deployed.

In June of 2022, district voters approved a general obligation bond for school facilities improvements. As a property-tax-backed bond, this commitment carries lasting implications for families. It funds upgrades to the district's single campus and is repaid through property tax assessments over a multi-year span, representing a cost families relocating into the area would carry.

Housing in the areas served by the district is relatively affordable compared to the state benchmark. Rental costs are modest, and home values, while below the statewide median, remain accessible for families considering the region.

The district's enrollment is small and concentrated at the elementary and middle school levels. No high school grades are served within the district.
