Additionally, Westwood Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with 72.88% White, 5.46% African American, 6.97% Hispanic, and 6.03% Asian students.

Despite its strong academic performance, Westwood Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.2% in 2020-2021 to 16.4% in 2022-2023. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.14% in 2022-2023, compared to the surrounding schools. However, the increased investment in the school, with spending per student rising from $7,308 in 2018-2019 to $8,643 in 2021-2022, and the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.5 to 17.4 over the past three school years, may be contributing factors to its academic success.

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.
