Summary

Westhaven Elementary is a public elementary school in Belleville, Illinois, serving 349 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Belleville School District 118, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westhaven Elementary has shown mixed performance on standardized tests, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 53.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 41% in Math, outperforming the district but underperforming the state. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, and it has particularly strong performance for its African American and disabled student subgroups, ranking in the top quartile of Illinois elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's white and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups perform closer to or below the state averages.

Compared to other schools in the district, Westhaven Elementary generally performs better, such as Union Elementary and Franklin Elementary. However, when compared to schools outside the district, such as Roosevelt Elementary and Henry Raab Elementary, Westhaven's performance is more mixed. The nearby Whiteside Elementary School, which is in a different district, has lower overall performance than Westhaven Elementary. Westhaven's high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages, may be a contributing factor to its fluctuating academic performance.
