Westfield

Summary:

The Westfield school district in Massachusetts consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 virtual school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like Westfield Technical Academy and Southampton Road Elementary outperforming others.

Westfield Technical Academy stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 96.9% and the lowest dropout rate at 2.3%, though its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages. Southampton Road Elementary and Abner Gibbs Elementary have the highest MCAS proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades, outperforming the district and state.

The data also reveals challenges at Westfield Virtual School, which has the lowest test scores, graduation rates, and highest dropout rates among the schools. Additionally, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending per student and academic outcomes, as some of the higher-spending schools do not necessarily have the best performance.
