The school is part of the Westfield-Washington Schools district, which is ranked 9th out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Westfield Middle School has consistently maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking among the top middle schools in the state.

Westfield Middle School's strong academic performance is a key differentiator, with students consistently outperforming the state average in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 61.94% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 42.6%. In Math, 62.38% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.4%.

While Westfield Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate is still lower than the state average, the gradual increase from 10.0% in 2020-2021 to 13.3% in 2022-2023 is a trend the school should monitor and address. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 18.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, is lower than the rates seen in some nearby schools, such as Sheridan Middle School and Noblesville East Middle School. Overall, Westfield Middle School's strong academic performance, efficient use of resources, and consistent high ratings make it a standout institution in the region.

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.
