Middle Schools in Westby K-12 Schools

While Westby 7-8 has a relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, suggesting potential advantages, the school's academic results are concerning. The school has a 0% proficiency rate in English Language Arts and Science, significantly lower than the Westby K-12 Schools district and state averages. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate of 37.5% is higher than the state average but lower than the district average.
