Westside EL

Westside Elementary earns an Exceptional rating with a composite score of 9.1 out of 10. The school ranks #155 out of 8,547 Texas public schools, outperforming 98% of schools statewide — a position built on both strong academics and standout student growth, not a single metric carrying the load. The school serves 997 students from prekindergarten through fifth grade at a 14.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio.

Academics score 8.8 out of 10, but the growth score is the standout: 9.7 out of 10 means students here advance faster than predicted regardless of where they start. Among all 4,678 Texas elementary schools, Westside ranks #109 — a high bar that few programs across the state match. Within Angleton, Westside holds the top rank among nine public schools in the city.

That local standing combined with statewide placement gives parents a clear signal. Families evaluating elementary options in the area will find this school at the top of every relevant comparison. The Exceptional rating reflects consistent performance across both academic output and student progress year over year.

Located in a rural area, Westside EL may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
