Westside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Scott, Louisiana, serving 667 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lafayette Parish School District, which is ranked 27th out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Westside Elementary School has seen fluctuating statewide rankings, ranging from 258th to 529th out of Louisiana's 727-739 elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 1 to 3 stars. The school performs relatively well for its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, ranking in the top 50% and top 10% of Louisiana elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for its Hispanic, White, and Special Education student groups, as well as its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student group, is in the bottom half of the state.
