Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Oakdale Elementary School, Sunset Hills Elementary School, Loveland Elementary School, and Prairie Lane Elementary School are all ranked among the top 86 elementary schools in Nebraska and have exceptional test scores, with 65-90% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, some elementary schools like Westbrook Elementary and Westgate Elementary struggle in certain grade levels and subject areas.

At the middle and high school levels, Westside Middle School and Westside High School both perform consistently, with 57-75% of students proficient or better in core subjects. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and potential correlations between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Addressing these issues could help the Westside Community Schools district improve equity and ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
