While Westfield Elementary has many strengths, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.1% in 2020-2021 to 15.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is lower than the nearby schools, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Westfield's spending per student has also increased, from $14,613 in 2019-2020 to $16,138 in 2022-2023, higher than the state average and nearby schools in the Lombard School District 44. Overall, Westfield Elementary is a high-performing school that stands out for its academic achievements, diversity, and small class sizes, though the increase in chronic absenteeism is an area of concern.
