Westport Elementary

Westport Elementary sits in the southwestern edge of Modesto, serving a working-class community where families are deeply rooted in the Central Valley's agricultural backbone. Academics here are a work in progress — scores in English, math, and science land in the lower range statewide — so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to look at other options within Ceres Unified. That said, for families already settled in this part of Modesto, the school offers a close-knit neighborhood feel in an area where the cost of living remains refreshingly accessible compared to much of California.
