Westmoreland Elementary consistently performs above the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. In 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 58.81%, compared to the state average of 44.47%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 51.78%, compared to the state average of 38.73%.

Westmoreland Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking improving from 280th out of 667 Kansas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 189th out of 656 in 2024-2025.
