In 2024, West Washington Elementary School (WWES) once again surpassed state standards, placing in the top ten in multiple grades and subjects. This achievement, which ranks them among the top-performing schools in Indiana, is attributed to the staff's dedication to aligning curriculum with state standards and addressing students' needs. Congratulations to WWES for achieving the highest 5th Grade Math pass rate in the state.

When asked about the secret to success, WWES Principal Tom Rosenbaum gave the credit to his teaching and support staff. "We have an excellent staff of hardworking, dedicated educators. They are top notch and they are focused on preparing our students for academic success!"

At the junior high level, West Washington Jr. High saw significant gains in ILEARN performance, driven by a focus on collective instructional practices and student engagement. The school's emphasis on goal setting and student accountability has fostered a culture of continuous improvement, leading to notable growth in academic proficiency.

West Washington High School (WWHS) also recorded substantial increases in SAT scores, outperforming other schools in the area. This success is linked to staff professional development and a district-wide emphasis on vocabulary and critical skills.

Congratulations to WWHS for attaining the top SAT proficiency rate in both Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math among local schools.
