National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Westlake Village has more public-school enrollment than 36% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Westlake High enrolls 54.6% of Westlake Village's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

The school portfolio is elementary-weighted

3 of Westlake Village's 5 listed schools are elementary campuses. That composition means citywide enrollment and staffing averages are influenced more by early-grade operating patterns than by the city's 0 middle and 1 high-school records. Families comparing later grades should rely on those individual rows rather than the all-school mean.

Campus spread matters more than the city mean

The 11-point gap between Westlake High and River Oaks Academy shows the range hidden by Westlake Village's average Resource Investment Index. The city figure is useful for national placement, but families ultimately choose among campuses with different grade spans, enrollment, district affiliations, and reported support fields. Start with schools serving the relevant grade level, then compare the index components rather than assuming the city average describes any one classroom.

City enrollment: Top 64%
School count: Top 99%
Resource Index average: 35th percentile
Teacher staffing: 5th percentile

Westlake High accounts for 54.6% of all Westlake Village public-school enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Westlake Village a distant remainder — means Westlake Village-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

Westlake Village school enrollment varies 5.7× across entities

Westlake Village school enrollment ranges from 331 students (lowest) to 1,900 students (highest), a spread of 1,569 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Westlake Village student-teacher ratio is 23.0:1 — high (typically associated with larger urban scale or staffing constraints that have widened the headcount gap)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

1 of Westlake Village's 5 listed schools are charters

20% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD.
