The school boasts a graduation rate of 89% for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average, and a dropout rate of 2.4%, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $30,866 for 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 is lower than the state average, suggesting that the school is well-resourced and able to provide personalized attention to its students.
While Westmont High School serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 41.06% for 2023-2024, the school's exceptional academic performance is a testament to its ability to support and educate all of its students effectively. The school's only area of concern is its higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for 2024-2025, which the school and district may want to investigate further to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve student attendance.
