Summary

Westfall Middle School is a rural school serving 311 students in grades 6–8 in Williamsport, Ohio (Pickaway County), part of the Westfall Local district. It is the smallest school in its local comparison group — roughly half the size of the next-smallest nearby middle school — and its closest peers are 8–11 miles away in the Teays Valley and Circleville areas. For 2025–26 it ranked 492nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars), and it has earned 3 stars in every year on record, with percentile ranks ranging from the low 50s to a peak of 69th in 2020–21.

Academically, Westfall lands essentially at the state average across its grade-level tests, but that average hides two very different results. Sixth-grade math proficiency is 36.1% — the lowest of any comparable school in the group and 20 points below the state — while 7th-grade math is 60.2%, about 11.6 points above the state. The school's strongest showing is Algebra I, where proficiency has been 100% in each of the last four reported years. Gifted and talented students rank at the 75th percentile, while low-income students (39th percentile) and special education students (30th percentile) rank below the school as a whole.

Westfall's clearest practical strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 16.2% is second-lowest among eleven comparable schools, roughly half the rate of the large suburban middle schools. It has the highest student–teacher ratio in the group (23.9) while spending the second-most per student ($9,575). Compared with nearby Teays Valley West Middle School, Westfall trails in most grade-level subjects; compared with Circleville Middle School, it leads in every subject by wide margins. Westfall's middle school (53rd percentile) also outranks its own district (40th percentile), making it one of the stronger parts of the district.
