Westview High School

Summary:

Westview High School is a public high school located in Martin, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 560. The school is part of the Weakley County School District, which is ranked 35 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Tennessee, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic performance on TNReady/Biology I, English I, and English II assessments, outperforming the Weakley County and Tennessee state averages. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (15%) and Hispanic (7.14%) students compared to nearby schools like Dresden High School and Bradford High School, is a key differentiating factor. However, the school's performance for African American students is relatively weaker, suggesting a need to address any achievement gaps.

Westview High School's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby schools like Union City High School, but South Fulton Middle / High School outperforms Westview in several subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's increasing spending per student and decreasing student-teacher ratio suggest a commitment to investing in resources and providing a more personalized learning environment, which may have contributed to its overall strong academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
