Westmar Middle is a public middle school serving grades 06–08 in Lonaconing. It is one of 22 current school records connected to Allegany County Public Schools. NCES reports 258 students for 2024–25.
Among 228 middle schools in Maryland with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 777 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 4th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 9.7:1, below the Maryland median of 14.4:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (93.4%) and multiracial (3.9%). Students served under IDEA represent 14.7%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
