Summary

Westmoreland High School, located in Westmoreland, TN, serves 518 students in grades 9–12 and is part of Sumner County Schools. The school has a strong and stable statewide reputation, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 70th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 82nd percentile.

Academically, Westmoreland is a standout in mathematics and U.S. History. Algebra I proficiency is 57.2% compared to 32.3% statewide, and Geometry proficiency is an impressive 86.2% versus 37.5% statewide. U.S. History proficiency sits at 66.9%. It outperforms larger neighboring schools like Gallatin Senior High School and Portland High School by a wide margin in these subjects. Its closest true rival, Trousdale County High School, ranks higher overall, but Westmoreland actually beats Trousdale in Algebra I and U.S. History. One of the most striking differentiators is the school's exceptional effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide in 2025–2026.

The school's main challenges are attendance and completion. Chronic absenteeism (19.2%) is notably higher than the district average (12.2%), and the graduation rate fell to 87.7% in 2024–2025. English Language Arts proficiency also lags behind the district, with English I at 39.7% proficiency compared to 49.7% for Sumner County Schools. With higher per-student spending ($15,298) and relatively small class sizes, Westmoreland has significant resources to address these challenges, and its successful track record with low-SES students suggests it has the capacity to do so.
