Westland High School faces several challenges, including a diverse student population, below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a large proportion of students from low-income families. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, ranking between 607 and 615 out of 819 to 867 schools over the past several years. Its four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.4% to 88.6%, which is lower than the state average and some of the nearby high-performing schools like Grandview Heights High School, which had a 100% graduation rate. Additionally, Westland High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 29.6% in 2019-2020 to 77.1% in 2020-2021.

When compared to nearby schools in the South-Western City School District, Westland High School generally underperforms. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Westland High School had lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in all tested subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of the community.

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.
