Summary

Westridge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ballwin, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 393 students. It is part of the Rockwood R-VI School District, which is ranked 27th out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Westridge Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 10 years, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts. The school also excels in serving special education and gifted/talented student populations. However, Westridge has seen a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.0% in 2022-2023 to 22.3% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Westridge Elementary has increased from 17.4% in 2021-2022 to 23.41% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Rockwood R-VI district, such as Ballwin Elementary and Woerther Elementary, Westridge performs well. However, it lags behind the highest-performing elementary school in the district, Kehrs Mill Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 5% of Missouri elementary schools. Compared to elementary schools in the neighboring Parkway C-2 district, such as Henry Elementary and Claymont Elementary, Westridge generally performs better on state assessments, but has higher chronic absenteeism rates.
