Westhills Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Westhills Elementary School in Lewisburg, TN, serves 561 students in grades 4–6 and is part of Marshall County Schools, a district rated 3 stars by the state. Despite its name, Westhills operates as a middle school, and its most recent TNReady scores show a mixed picture: math proficiency (40.7%) is close to the state average (43.0%), and science (47.4%) actually meets it, but English Language Arts (29.2%) and social studies (38.6%) trail both the district and state by significant margins.

The biggest red flag is literacy. Westhills’ ELA proficiency is nearly 11 points below the state average, with 4th-grade students posting just 27.1% proficiency versus 47.4% statewide—a 20-point gap. Math tells a different story: 4th graders shine at 50.5% proficiency, above the state average, but scores slide to 37.8% in 5th grade and 31.9% by 6th grade. Science is a genuine strength in 5th grade (54.9% vs. 46.5% statewide), but even that fades by 6th grade. When compared to Delk-Henson Intermediate School—the same district’s other 4–6 school—Westhills lags by double digits in ELA and science, and by 6–10 points in math and social studies, despite spending more per student ($12,102 vs. $10,363).

Chronic absenteeism is another concern: it has risen from 11.6% in 2021–2022 to 17.6% in 2024–2025, now above the district rate of 15.3%. This upward trend may be tied to the school’s stagnant reading and social studies scores, since missing class directly affects learning. Westhills does compare favorably to lower-performing schools like Whitthorne Middle School and E. A. Cox Middle School, but it trails mid-tier peers like Battle Creek Middle School and Community Middle School in ELA and social studies. For parents, the key takeaway is that Westhills has capable 4th graders, especially in math and science, but the school needs to focus on early literacy intervention, maintaining math gains through 6th grade, and tackling rising absenteeism to help all students succeed.
