Academic performance earns a 9.1 and growth scores a 9.0, meaning students here both achieve at a high level and continue advancing faster than peers at comparable schools. A student-teacher ratio of 9.7:1 keeps classes genuinely small, giving teachers the room to work closely with each student across every grade from pre-K through fifth.

For families evaluating elementary options in Holland, West sits at the top of the local field and near the top of the state. The scores hold up across both achievement and growth, which is a harder standard to meet — and West clears it convincingly.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.7:1, West 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.
