One of Westfall Middle School's key strengths is its strong performance on standardized tests, consistently outperforming the state average in several subject areas. In 2024-2025, the school had 73% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63%. In Mathematics, the school had 56.5% of 7th-grade students proficient or better, higher than the state's 50%.

While Westfall Middle School generally outperforms the nearby schools in test scores, some nearby schools, such as Jackson Middle School and Teays Valley West Middle School, have higher rankings and ratings, particularly in the areas of Science and Mathematics. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to its performance. Additionally, the school's high student-teacher ratio of 24.9 in 2023-2024 and lower per-student spending of $9,575 in 2018-2019 compared to some nearby schools may impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
