For example, South Side Elementary School, located less than a mile away, consistently outperforms Westview in both ELA and Math proficiency rates, as well as in overall school rankings. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Westview may be contributing factors to the school's academic underperformance.
