The school is part of Community Consolidated School District 89, which is ranked 96 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westfield Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Illinois, with a statewide ranking between 121 and 354 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams is impressive, with 55.3% of all students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 46.7% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages. Westfield's 5th-grade students stand out, with 64.6% proficient or better in ELA and 31.2% in Mathematics, outperforming the district and state averages. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is also noteworthy, with 67.4% of all students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%.

Westfield Elementary School's strong performance for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is a positive indicator of the school's commitment to equity and inclusion. However, the relatively lower performance of white and special education students suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of these subgroups to ensure all students are achieving at high levels. Compared to nearby schools, Westfield's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly higher than the schools in the same district, but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Downers Grove and Glen Ellyn school districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
