Summary

Westside Intermediate in Hebron, MD, is a public school serving 342 students in grades 2 through 5 as part of the Wicomico County Public Schools district, and it stands out for its exceptional math performance and strong attendance rates despite serving a community where nearly half of students are economically disadvantaged.

One of the most impressive findings is Westside's math proficiency, which at 41.5% is 67% higher than the district average and 53% higher than the state average. This is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools with similar economic challenges—for instance, East Salisbury Elementary has a math proficiency of just 14.0% with a higher poverty rate. Westside also excels at keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.0% that is nearly half the district's 22.4% rate. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $19,978 per pupil—35% more than schools like Delmar Elementary—which supports a low student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.

However, Westside faces some notable challenges. There is a sharp decline in 5th-grade performance, with math proficiency dropping 51% from 4th to 5th grade, and science proficiency for 5th graders is only 17.4%, well below the state average of 32.4%. Additionally, while the school performs well overall, subgroup data indicates significant equity gaps that need attention. On a positive note, Westside is part of a successful "feeder" pipeline with Westside Primary, which serves younger students and has even higher poverty rates, yet the combined model produces some of the best math scores in the district—a testament to the effectiveness of this coordinated approach.

As with the rest of the school district there is no communication from staff. No returned emails or phone calls.
Safety is not the main concern, protecting their reputation is the only concern. Students and staff have zero accountability. Staff will lie right to your face. Avoid all wicomico county schools. Close Quote
