Summary

Westview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Richmond, Indiana, with 276 students enrolled. The school is part of the Richmond Community Schools district, which is ranked 278 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own district averages on ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.5% of Westview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 24.66% for the district and 40.3% statewide for 3rd grade. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 36.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Westview has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.51% to 77.18% over the past few years, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Westview's academic performance lags behind many of the nearby schools, such as Charles Elementary and Liberty Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates on ILEARN assessments. Westview's chronic absenteeism rates are also consistently higher than the nearby schools, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Despite these challenges, Westview's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is similar to the nearby schools, suggesting that class size is not a significant factor in its academic performance.
