Summary

Westview High School is a public high school in Martin, TN, serving 611 students in grades 9–12 as part of Weakley County Schools, a district ranked 18th of 141 in Tennessee. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks 139th of 400 Tennessee high schools (65th percentile) for the 2025-26 school year, with a graduation rate of 89.9%, a dropout rate of just 3.4%, and chronic absenteeism of 13.5%.

Westview's academic picture is sharply uneven. Students perform well in English II (75% proficient) and Biology I (64.3%), both well above state averages, and the school's special education students rank in the 90th percentile statewide — an exceptional result. However, Algebra I proficiency is just 18.9% and U.S. History is 19.0%, both far below state averages. The Algebra I weakness is persistent, hovering between roughly 14% and 19% over the past four years. The 56-point gap between English II and Algebra I makes clear that this school has genuine strengths and significant challenges.

Compared with nearby schools, Westview spends the least per student at $11,814 and holds the lowest overall ranking among its peers. Union City High School ranks 52nd, South Fulton Middle / High School 68th, Obion County Central High School 87th, Dresden High School 88th, and Bradford High School 99th — all above Westview's 139th place. Yet Westview boasts the best dropout rate in the group at 3.4%, roughly half the state rate. Interestingly, Dresden High School sits in the same district just ten miles away, but Westview outperforms Dresden in English II (75% vs. 63.9%) and Biology I (64.3% vs. 50.5%). Chronic absenteeism of 13.5% is above the district rate of 11.7% and most nearby schools, making attendance an important area to watch. All told, Westview is a school with clear pockets of excellence — especially in English, science, and special education — held back by persistent math struggles.
