Westphalia El

Westphalia EL is a elementary school located in Lott, TX, serving grades 0–8 and approximately 154 students. Operated by Westphalia ISD, the campus sits about 29.7 miles from Waco News's newsroom and is part of Waco News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 14 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 11.0:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Westphalia EL is a traditional zoned public school within Westphalia ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Waco News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Lott considering elementary placement, Westphalia EL is one of the campuses Waco News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
