Western High School is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 50-60 high schools in Indiana and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 97.8% four-year graduation rate and strong academic performance, with over 60% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing. In contrast, Western Intermediate School also stands out, ranking among the top 300-400 elementary schools in the state and outperforming the state average in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math for grades 3-5.

While the schools generally perform well, there are some areas for improvement. Western High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could be addressed to improve overall student outcomes. Additionally, the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Western Primary School and Western Intermediate School, tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student achievement within the district.
