The Westfield area in Massachusetts is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in their academic performance, with some standouts like Southampton Road Elementary and Abner Gibbs Elementary outperforming the Westfield and Massachusetts averages on standardized tests, while others like Franklin Ave Elementary struggle to meet those benchmarks.

Southampton Road Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked school in the area, ranking 439 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools and earning 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars.

However, further investigation would be needed to fully understand the relationship between these factors and academic achievement. Overall, the Westfield elementary school landscape presents a mixed picture, with some schools excelling while others face challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for all students.
