Summary

Westhaven Elementary serves 313 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Belleville, Illinois, as part of Belleville School District 118. Its most important standout is its 2025–26 mathematics result: Westhaven led nearby same-district K–6 schools, with 46% of students proficient.

Westhaven’s overall results are strong against local and statewide comparisons: 63% were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 56% statewide and 56% in the district; Westhaven ranked second among six nearby same-district schools with reported scores. In math, its 46% proficiency was above the state’s 40%, the district’s 33%, and the nearby-school average of 38%. The main concern is sixth-grade math: 28% were proficient, below the state’s 36% and district’s 31%, and higher than only one of the six nearby schools with a reported result. Fifth-grade science was another bright spot at 54% proficient, above the state and district, and the second-highest reported result among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism was 20%, below the district’s 27% and state’s 24% and the lowest among the six nearby same-district schools.

Results have risen since 2023–24: ELA proficiency increased 23 percentage points to 63%, and math rose 13 points to 46%. SchoolDigger ranked Westhaven at the 57th percentile statewide in 2025–26 and gave it three stars, compared with the district’s 38th percentile and two stars.
