Summary

Westhill Elementary is a public PK-5 school serving 419 students in Bothell, Washington, as part of the highly-regarded Northshore School District.

Academically, Westhill consistently outperforms state averages but lags behind the district average in all subjects, a pattern that becomes especially pronounced in 5th grade where math proficiency drops significantly. The school operates with favorable conditions, including a low student-teacher ratio and a more economically advantaged student population than many neighbors, yet its performance is mid-tier compared to nearby top performers like Lockwood Elementary and Shelton View Elementary, the latter of which achieves higher results with lower per-student spending.

Notably, Westhill has shown dramatic recent improvement in supporting its low-income students, though performance for some other student subgroups has fluctuated. The school's most distinctive challenge is a sharp decline in 5th-grade scores, a pattern seen at some area schools like Arrowhead Elementary and Frank Love Elementary, but one that is particularly pronounced at Westhill, suggesting a potential focus area for curriculum or support alignment.
