Westside Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on the Milestones Assessment, with proficiency rates in 2024-2025 of 40.2% in English Language Arts, 31.5% in Math, and 46.7% in Science, while the state averages were 43%, 42.6%, and 43.8%, respectively. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 578 and 748 out of 1,200-1,250 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star or 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Additionally, Westside Elementary has had very high free and reduced lunch rates, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Westside Elementary to nearby schools, such as Indian Creek Elementary, which is only 1.87 miles away, it becomes evident that Westside is one of the lower-performing schools in the Coffee County district. Indian Creek Elementary consistently outperforms Westside in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates. Westside Elementary's low spending per student, ranging from $9,304 to $9,470 over the past three school years, may also be a factor in its academic challenges.
