Summary

Westside Elementary is a public elementary school in Westmoreland, Tennessee, serving 382 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Macon County School District, which is ranked 91 out of 139 districts in the state.

Westside Elementary consistently outperforms the Macon County and Tennessee state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics. The school's performance is especially strong for its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, who rank in the top 10% of Tennessee elementary schools. Westside Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, and its per-student spending has steadily increased in recent years.

However, Westside Elementary faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism and fluctuating statewide rankings. While the school outperforms the district and state, it does not rank as highly as some nearby schools in the Sumner County district, such as Union Elementary and Bethpage Elementary. Westside Elementary could potentially learn from the practices of these higher-performing schools to further improve its own academic outcomes.
