Summary

Westmoreland Elementary serves 126 students in Pre-K through grade 4 in Westmoreland, Kansas, and has the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools listed. It is part of the Rock Creek district, which SchoolDigger rates at the 74th percentile and four stars; the school itself is rated at the 65th percentile and three stars for 2025–26. Its results vary sharply by subject and grade: third-grade math is exceptionally strong, while fourth-grade ELA is a concern. The clearest takeaway is that math is a standout, but that strength is not matched by ELA.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby schools. All-grades proficiency is 65%, above the state’s 41% and the district’s 52%; among nine nearby schools with results, Westmoreland ranks third. Third-grade math reaches 87%, higher than every nearby school’s reported result. ELA is the main weakness: all-grades proficiency is 44%, below the state’s 46%, the district’s 53%, and every nearby school with a reported result, whose average is 57%. The grade split is especially clear in fourth grade, where ELA is 39%—higher only than Onaga Elementary among comparable nearby results. Fourth-grade math remains stronger at 55%, ranking third among schools with comparable data.

Over time, ELA has declined while math has recently rebounded: ELA fell from 67% in 2022–23 to 44% in 2025–26, while math rose from 52% in 2024–25 to 65% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile also fell from 88 in 2022–23 to 65 in 2025–26; that current standing places the school fourth among nearby schools with rankings. Its student-teacher ratio is the lowest nearby, at 9 students per teacher, and chronic absenteeism is 6%, below the district’s 11% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for effectiveness serving low-socioeconomic-status students fell from the 77th percentile in 2023–24 to the 56th in 2024–25, while the overall ranking moved from the 76th to the 71st percentile. The school’s 33% free/reduced-lunch rate is below the nearby-school average of 42%; this is context, not an explanation for its results.
