Summary:
Westhoff, Texas, is served by a single school, Westhoff Elementary, a small rural school within the Westhoff Independent School District (Isd) that educates 85 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.
As the only school in the area, Westhoff Elementary presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school boasts an excellent student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, ensuring small class sizes and individual attention. It also shows remarkable strength in specific subjects, with 8th graders achieving an 85.71% proficiency rate in Social Studies (far above the state average of 31.69%) and students taking Algebra I posting an 83.33% proficiency rate. However, the school struggles significantly in early mathematics; only 14.29% of 3rd graders and 18.18% of 7th graders were proficient in math, well below state averages. The school's state ranking has also declined sharply, dropping from the 95th percentile (5 stars) in 2023-2024 to a projected 68th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026.
Financially, the school spends a very high $23,281 per student—roughly double the Texas average—which is typical for small rural districts with fixed costs. A majority of students (58.82%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate. Parents should be aware that the school's small size (85 students) causes significant year-to-year volatility in test scores; a single class of 10-15 students can dramatically swing the school's averages, making comparisons between years less reliable. The key takeaway is a school with strong potential in specific areas but with inconsistent foundational math instruction that warrants close attention.
