Westmoor High has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking in the top 20% of California high schools. The school's students consistently outperform the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. Westmoor High also has a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 89.0% to 94.1% over the past five years, and a relatively low dropout rate compared to the district and state. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.9% in 2017-2018 to 22.6% in 2020-2021, which is still lower than the district average.

Westmoor High's performance across different student subgroups is mixed, with the school performing well for female, male, and multi-racial students, but more varied results for Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students. While Westmoor High generally outperforms the other public high schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Oceana High and Thornton High, the school lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the broader San Francisco Bay Area, such as Lowell High and Summit Public School: Shasta.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote My son is a star basketball player in the 8th grade and plan to move in that area so he can play basketball there. School seems cool but checked out their Boys JV Basketball team against Washington the other day, and they looked terrible and coach looked clueless on how to break a full court press. Son said he doesn't want to play there, Doubt I want my son to play there either. Hear academics is good tho.
Have to debate with the wife. Will let my son talk my wife out of it so I am off the hook. The game was really that bad. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
