Summary

Westview High School is an alternative public high school located in Bennington, Nebraska, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,207 students. It is part of the Omaha Public Schools district, which is ranked 111 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview High School has faced several challenges, including relatively low four-year graduation rates ranging from 71.5% to 88.1% over the past two school years, significantly lower than the nearby Gretna East High School (87.9%) and Buena Vista High School (87.9%), both of which are also alternative schools. Additionally, Westview has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.3% to 45.9% over the past two school years, much higher than the rates at Gretna East High School (19.3%) and Buena Vista High School (19.3%).

Westview High School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the ACT, is also significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 33.83% of Westview students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.74% statewide and 18.46% in the Omaha Public Schools district. The school's performance in mathematics and science is also well below the state and district averages. While Westview's per-student spending is relatively high, ranging from $19,051 to $22,359 over the past two school years, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes or student engagement.
