The school is part of the Mannheim School District 83, which is ranked 623 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westdale Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with below-average performance on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Math. The school's academic struggles are particularly pronounced in 3rd grade, where only 25.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 26.4% in Math in the 2024-2025 school year. Westdale's performance is lower than nearby schools in the Mannheim School District 83, such as Scott Elementary and Roy Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates. However, Westdale outperforms some nearby schools in other districts, such as J.W. Riley Intermediate in Berkeley School District 87, which has even lower proficiency rates.

Westdale Elementary School faces several challenges, including high rates of poverty, with 64.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high percentage of English Language Learners. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 26.3% in 2023-2024. To address these issues, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, engaging families and the community, and exploring ways to leverage the school's diverse student population and strengths in certain subgroups. By addressing these key areas, Westdale Elementary School can work towards improving its academic performance, student engagement, and overall school climate to better serve its students and community.
