Summary

Westview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Phenix City, Alabama, serving 557 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Phenix City School District, which is ranked 91 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Westview Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Westview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Phenix City and Alabama state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 42.31% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math and English, compared to 44.2% and 59.48% for Phenix City, and 45.47% and 65.34% for the state, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 19.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Westview Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.96% to 79.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

Interestingly, Westview Elementary's academic performance lags significantly behind the nearby Lakewood Elementary School, which is a magnet school and consistently ranks in the top 10% of Alabama elementary schools. Lakewood Elementary outperforms Westview Elementary by a wide margin in all subject areas and grade levels. However, Westview Elementary's African American students perform relatively better compared to the school's overall performance, ranking in the top 3 out of 5 stars for this subgroup in recent years. Despite this, Westview Elementary's per-student spending of $9,551 in 2018-2019 is higher than the nearby Lakewood Primary and Lakewood Elementary schools, suggesting that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes.
