Westmore Elementary School

Summary:

Westmore Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lombard, Illinois, serving 411 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the School District 45 DuPage County, which is ranked 435 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westmore Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade. For example, in 2023-2024, 58% of 4th-grade students at Westmore Elementary School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 39.8% in the district and 37.8% statewide. In Mathematics, 49.3% of 4th-grade students at Westmore were proficient or better, compared to 34.8% in the district and 28.4% statewide. Westmore's 5th-grade students also performed well, with 65.7% proficient or better in Science, compared to 56.1% in the district and 53.2% statewide.

While Westmore Elementary School generally outperforms the other schools in the same School District 45 DuPage County, such as York Center Elementary and North Elementary, some schools outside of the district, like Pleasant Lane Elementary and Park View Elementary (part of Lombard School District 44), also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates comparable to or even higher than Westmore's. However, Westmore's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 26.28% in 2022-2023, suggests that its strong academic performance may be partially attributed to its relatively more affluent student population.

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.

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.
