A Stadium-architect designed building at West High School

West Broad Elementary School, rated C-minus on Niche, has nearly 400 students in pre-K through fifth grade. The student-to-teacher ratio is equal to the national average of 17-to-1. That ratio is lower as kids feed into the C-rated Westmoor Middle School, where the student-to-teacher ratio is 14-to-1 and the school is graded C-minus. Students also attend West High School, ranked C, which was constructed in 1929. The building was designed by the same architect who designed Ohio Stadium, home of the Ohio State Buckeye football team.
