John Marshall Elementary

John Marshall Elementary sits in Westminster, California, serving 337 students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Its composite score of 9.0 out of 10 earns an Exceptional rating — a designation backed by consistent performance across every measured dimension, not a single standout subject carrying the rest. The numbers are striking in context.

Marshall ranks #1 out of 18 public schools in Westminster and outperforms 98% of California schools statewide, landing at #208 among 9,533 public schools across the state. Academic achievement scores 9.1 out of 10. Growth scores even higher at 9.3, meaning students here gain ground faster than peers at the vast majority of California schools — a signal that strong incoming performance isn't just maintained, it accelerates.

At 19.8 students per teacher, class sizes are unremarkable by California standards. That makes the outcomes more notable, not less. Marshall produces top-2% results without the structural advantages of a charter model or private setting.

For parents weighing elementary options in Westminster or the broader Orange County area, the ranking picture is clear: this school leads the district and holds its own against the strongest elementaries in one of the most competitive public school markets in the country.
