About 31% of local residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, while the poverty rate stands at 19.4% among the area's nearly 29,000 residents.

What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 35 students, Aef - Westham Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 8.1:1, Aef - Westham Academy offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Aef - Westham Academy operates independently from the local public school district.
