Summary:
Westwood Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Westwood High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has seen a decline in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 108th out of 332 Iowa high schools in 2021-2022 to 228th out of 338 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024.
Academically, Westwood High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally higher than the state averages, with some exceptions. However, the school's Science proficiency rates are lower than the state averages, which could be an area for improvement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.8 is slightly higher than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,922.
One notable aspect of Westwood High School is its lack of diversity, with a predominantly white student population and relatively low percentages of minority students. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 35.64% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income families, which could have implications for the school's resources and support services.
