Summary

Westgate Elementary School is a public school in Kennewick, Washington, serving 426 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in the Kennewick School District. Located at 2514 West 4th Avenue, it is similar in size to nearby elementary schools and serves a community with substantial economic need: 84.27% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Westgate’s student-teacher ratio was 13.6 to 1, and its current two-star rating places it in the 41st percentile statewide.

Westgate’s recent academic profile is mixed but shows meaningful progress. In 2025–26, 45.10% of students were proficient in math and 46.88% in science, while 40.69% were proficient in English language arts (ELA). Math was above both district and state averages, and science was above the district average. Westgate ranked fourth among the listed nearby schools, behind Lincoln Elementary School, Hawthorne Elementary School, and Southgate Elementary School. It outperformed several schools, including Eastgate Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, Fuerza Elementary, and Amistad Elementary School in all three subjects.

Fifth grade is a clear bright spot: ELA proficiency was 54.69%, above both district and state rates, while third- and fourth-grade ELA proficiency was 34.29% in each grade. This makes strengthening literacy in the middle elementary grades a logical priority. Math and science also rebounded sharply from the previous year, while ELA remained nearly flat. Westgate has improved substantially from the 4th percentile in 2015–16 and 2016–17 to the 41st percentile currently. Its subgroup results are especially strong for low-income students, who ranked at the 74th percentile statewide, suggesting comparatively effective support for students facing economic challenges. Nearby Canyon View Elementary School had stronger ELA results, while Westgate had stronger math and science results.
