The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 59.8% is also significantly higher than the state average of 45.4%.

Despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 47.18% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, Westchester School District 92-5 allocates significant resources to Westchester Middle School, as evidenced by the school's relatively high spending per student of $16,381 and low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 in 2023-2024. These factors may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, though the school's declining Mathematics proficiency rates suggest a need for improvement in this area.
