Summary

Westview Middle School is a public middle school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 537 students. The school is part of the Riverview Gardens School District, which is ranked 363 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Westview Middle School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state, with a ranking between 421 and 571 out of around 550-600 Missouri middle schools over the past 10 years.

Westview Middle School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 58.1% to 68.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools. Academically, the school's students perform poorly on state assessments, with only 5.8% of 6th graders, 6.7% of 7th graders, and 1.5% of 8th graders proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 45.5%, 43.2%, and 32.7%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and special education students, is also very low compared to state averages.

Interestingly, Westview Middle School's performance is significantly lower than the nearby R.G. Central Middle School, located just 0.95 miles away, which outperforms Westview Middle School on most academic measures. The combination of extremely high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and high free/reduced lunch rates (99.4% to 100%) indicates that Westview Middle School serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges and educational needs, which may be contributing to the school's persistent low performance.
