Summary

Westfall Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 9391 State Route 56 in Williamsport, Ohio — a small Pickaway County community in the Columbus exurban ring southeast of the city — serving 624 students as the elementary building for Westfall Local.

In 2025–26 the school ranked 703rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (55th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 467th of 773 — so Westfall Elementary performs better than its own district's standing suggests. Its ten-year record is unusually steady, never dropping below the 49th percentile or rising above the 61st. Attendance is a standout: 8.3% chronic absenteeism, second-lowest among eleven nearby schools and down from 19.5% four years ago. That matters because Westfall reports the highest poverty indicator (61.38% free/reduced lunch) and the largest classes (26:1) in its comparison group.

Its clearest strength is fifth-grade English/language arts, where 84.7% of students tested proficient — about 14 points above the state and within half a point of Ashville Elementary School, the strongest building in neighboring Teays Valley Local. That result is a four-year pattern, not a fluke. Westfall also posts top-decile results for its special education students. The main concern is third-grade math: 45.1% proficiency, 17 points below the state and last among eleven nearby schools, including Circleville Elementary School and Logan Elm Elementary School. Math and science results swing widely by grade level, while reading stays consistent from year to year. A widening gap between male and female students (17 percentile points in 2025–26, up from 3 two years earlier) is worth asking about directly.
