West Hillsborough

West Hillsborough is a public elementary school in Hillsborough, California, serving 294 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — driven by a 9.6 academic score and a strong 8.7 growth score. High academic scores show where students stand; strong growth scores show how fast they're improving.

West Hillsborough delivers on both. The statewide rankings confirm the picture. West Hillsborough sits at #105 out of 9,533 public schools in California — outperforming 99% of California schools — and ranks #89 out of 5,817 elementary schools statewide.

That places it in the top 2% at the elementary level alone. Within Hillsborough, it ranks third of four public elementary schools in the city. A 15.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio keeps instruction personal across a 294-student enrollment — a ratio that lets teachers focus on individual students rather than just managing the room.

West Hillsborough operates as a regular public school with no selective admissions, so these results reflect performance across the full student body, not a filtered cohort.
