Middle Schools in Westville

Westville has one middle school, Westville Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 132 students. In 2025–2026, its science proficiency was 46%, compared with 30% statewide and 25% in the Westville district. ELA and math were much weaker: 9% were proficient in each, versus 26% statewide in ELA and 25% in math. The most important finding is that science is a clear strength, while ELA and math remain well below state results.

Because Westville has just one school in this area, there are no school-to-school standouts; within the school, science is the strongest subject and seventh grade is the biggest concern. Seventh-grade ELA proficiency was 4%, 19 points below the state’s 23%, and seventh-grade math was 3%, 23 points below the state’s 26%. Across all grades, the school’s ELA result was 17 points below the state and math was 16 points below, while science was 16 points above the state and 21 above the district. Eighth-grade results were also below state levels, but by smaller margins: 6 points in both ELA and math.

Results moved in different directions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: science rose 13 points, from 33% to 46%; ELA edged up 1 point, from 8% to 9%; and math fell 5 points, from 14% to 9%. The science gain drove the improvement in the school’s simple average across the three subjects, even as math weakened. Chronic absenteeism was 18% in 2025–2026, compared with 17% districtwide and 16% statewide. SchoolDigger ranked the school 306th of 378 schools (19th percentile) in 2025–2026, down from 285th of 369 (23rd percentile) in 2024–2025. Context measures include a 10.1 student–teacher ratio and 77% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. With no other middle schools listed, these figures cannot support comparisons among local schools.
