Summary

Westridge Middle serves 761 students in grades 7–8 in Overland Park, in an area with several nearby middle schools that rank higher academically. Its latest state test results are slightly above the state in English language arts (ELA) and science and about even in math, but it trails most nearby schools. The central takeaway is that scores have improved substantially, but Westridge still trails most nearby schools.

Science is Westridge’s strongest subject relative to the state and its district, while math is its weakest. In the latest results, about 45% of students were proficient in science, compared with 38% statewide; ELA was 47% versus 46%, and math was about 41% in both places. Westridge remains below the Shawnee Mission Public Schools district in all three subjects. Its grade-level results trail district results by 8–14 points in ELA and 13–17 points in math. It also falls below nearby-school averages in every tested grade and subject, by 10–22 points; its weakest local standing is grade 7 math, where it is third-lowest among 11 schools.

Results have risen since 2022–2023: proficiency increased by 17 points in ELA, 19 points in math, and 21 points in science. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 51 to 66, though its current ranking is 124th of 368 schools, with 3 stars; among the 11 nearby schools, it ranks ninth. Its student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 13.1, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is about 54%, the second-highest among nearby schools. SchoolDigger ranks Westridge at the 87th percentile for English Language Learner students, up from the 63rd percentile in 2023–2024, and at the 57th percentile for Special Education students, up from the 9th. These are statewide group rankings, not direct measures of student scores or counts.
