The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with a drop in its statewide ranking and rating, as well as below-average academic proficiency rates compared to the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate and potential resource constraints, as indicated by its below-average spending per student and slightly higher student-teacher ratio.

Academically, Portsmouth West Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 487 out of 1,017 Ohio middle schools in 2021-2022 to 592 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024.

The school also faces challenges in terms of its student population and resource allocation. Portsmouth West Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with 90.79% of students identifying as white, and very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $7,941 is below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 17:1 is slightly higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining performance and the need for the Washington-Nile Local district to address the challenges facing this middle school.
