The school is part of the West Central CUSD 235 district, which is ranked 765 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, indicating that a substantial portion of the student population is missing a significant amount of instructional time. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with nearly 68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

These factors suggest that West Central Middle School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and the broader district is also underperforming. Addressing the school's academic, attendance, and socioeconomic challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
