Summary:
Westchester School District 92-5 includes three schools serving pre-K through grade 8 in the Westchester area: Westchester Primary School (pre-K–2), Westchester Intermediate School (grades 3–5) and Westchester Middle School (grades 6–8), with 1,041 students combined. Test results are available for Intermediate and Middle, but not Primary. The clearest strength in the reported results is Middle’s English language arts (ELA): its proficiency rate is above the state rate in every tested grade.
Westchester Middle School stands out in ELA, outperforming the same-grade state results by 4 percentage points in grade 6, 5 in grade 7 and 10 in grade 8; its all-grades result is 66%, compared with 56% statewide. Westchester Intermediate School is further below state results in grades 3 and 4, with ELA gaps of 9 and 11 points and math gaps of 9 and 11 points. Its grade 5 ELA result is much closer: 54.5% versus 54.9% statewide, less than 1 point apart. Math is a weaker area across both schools: Intermediate is below the state in all three tested grades, while Middle is below in grade 6 but above in grades 7 and 8.
Math results fell from the prior year at both reporting schools: Intermediate’s all-grades rate dropped 4 points, from 40% to 35%, and Middle’s fell 2 points, from 39% to 37%, while the state rate rose about 1 point. Science improved at Intermediate, from 28% to 43% in grade 5, and at Middle, from 60% to 63% in grade 8; Middle remained 11 points above the state in grade 8. SchoolDigger rankings also shifted: Intermediate went from the 44th percentile to the 31st, while Middle moved from the 59th to the 75th and then the 58th. As context, all three schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 49% at Middle to 55% at Primary; student-teacher ratios ranged from 11.5 to 13.2 that year. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 12%–14% at each school, below the 24% state rate.
