Westmoor Middle School

Summary:

Westmoor Middle School is a public middle school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 433 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westmoor Middle School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on state tests, and large achievement gaps between student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.8% of 6th-grade students were proficient in math, compared to 50.1% statewide and 20.4% in the district. When compared to nearby schools like Wedgewood Middle School and Hilltonia Middle School, the performance gaps at Westmoor are stark, with those schools performing significantly better despite also struggling.

Westmoor Middle School's ranking and performance have remained consistently low over the past decade, with little to no improvement. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism, racial achievement gaps, and socioeconomic challenges will likely require a comprehensive, long-term approach to help students succeed.

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.
