The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with 35.5% of students proficient or better in CMAS/English Language Arts and 19.2% proficient or better in CMAS/Math, compared to 22.8% and 15.1% for the district, respectively.

Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (82.64%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (16.9) than the district. When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Fairview Pk-8 and Orchard Park Academy, Westminster Academy for International Studies generally outperforms them in test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Adams 12 Five Star Schools district, such as Cotton Creek Elementary School, the performance gap is more pronounced, with Cotton Creek Elementary School outperforming Westminster Academy for International Studies in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. The low ranking and 0-star rating of the Westminster Public Schools district as a whole suggests that the school's strong performance is even more noteworthy.
