West Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Missouri, with rankings ranging from 50th to 129th out of over 1,000 schools in recent years.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.6% of 4th-grade students at West Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 72.3% for the Ozark R-VI district and 43.8% for the state of Missouri.
