Step 1 ：The problem states that 75% of the students prefer the Museum of Math and this number is 30 more than the students who prefer the Museum of Natural History. We can set up an equation to solve this problem. Let's denote the total number of students as x. Then, the number of students who prefer the Museum of Math is 0.75x and the number of students who prefer the Museum of Natural History is 0.25x.

Step 2 ：According to the problem, \(0.75x = 0.25x + 30\). We can solve this equation to find the total number of students.

Step 3 ：Solving the equation gives us \(x = 60\).

Step 4 ：Final Answer: There are \(\boxed{60}\) 6th grade students at West Village Middle School.
