This school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, often exceeding the district's performance as well.

Westmont's academic achievements are particularly noteworthy, with 3rd-6th grade students scoring significantly higher than the state average in ELA and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 71.05% of Westmont's 6th-grade students scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 58.3%.

The school's 5th-grade students also excelled in Science, with 92% scoring proficient or better, well above the state average of 70%.

While Westmont's overall performance is impressive, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.9% in 2020-2021 to 21.1% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's increased per-student spending and stable student-teacher ratio suggest a commitment to providing adequate resources and support for its students, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. Westmont's ability to support its low-socioeconomic status students and help them achieve high levels of academic success is also commendable and could provide valuable insights for other schools serving similar populations.

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.
