of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Westview Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Richmond, Indiana, serving 258 students as part of Richmond Community Schools, a district that ranks 286th of 374 Indiana districts (24th percentile, 1 star), with about 62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Westview itself ranks 805th of 1,015 elementary schools statewide for 2025–26 — the 21st percentile, or 1 star — and has spent most of the past decade in the bottom quartile. All-grade proficiency is 24.73% in ELA, 33.33% in math, and 19.51% in science.

Compared with other Richmond elementary schools, Westview sits above Starr Elementary School and is roughly comparable to Crestdale Elementary School, Fairview Elementary School, and Vaile Elementary School, but far behind Charles Elementary School, a 4-star district outlier. Westview's math and science results are the lowest among its Richmond peers, even though its poverty rate is lower than Starr, Fairview, and Vaile. Nearby out-of-district schools show what is possible: Liberty Elementary School has similar poverty but much higher proficiency, and Northeastern Elementary School and Centerville-Abington Elementary School have lower absenteeism with less spending per student than Westview's $11,579.

Westview's clearest strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 30.7% in 2022–23 to 20.5% in 2024–25, better than the district's 33.1% but still above the state's 16.7%. Third grade ELA is a bright spot at 34.62%, above the district's 29.65%. The most urgent concern is fourth grade ELA, which falls to 12.2% — the lowest among Richmond elementary peers and well below district and state results — along with fourth grade science at 19.51%. Class sizes are small, so the biggest opportunities appear to lie in targeted literacy and science intervention and continued attendance gains.
