Westfield Elementary

Summary:

Westfield Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is part of the Surry County Schools district, which is ranked 80 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westfield Elementary faces several challenges, including lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (ranging from 51.61% to 71.59% over the past three school years), and declining performance relative to other schools in the state. The school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 53.8% in 2023-2024, compared to 64.5% for the Surry County Schools district and 62.7% for the state. Additionally, Westfield Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 415 out of 1,489 North Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,017 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Pilot Mountain Elementary and Shoals Elementary, Westfield Elementary's performance is generally lower, with both of these schools having higher test scores and statewide rankings. Despite Westfield Elementary's higher per-student spending of $13,096 in 2018-2019 compared to the nearby schools, the school's leadership and the Surry County Schools district should consider implementing targeted interventions and strategies to address the achievement gaps and improve student outcomes.

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.
