Westwood Elementary School

Summary:

Westwood Elementary School is a top-performing public elementary school in Stillwater, Oklahoma, serving 628 students in grades PK-5. The school has consistently been one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the Stillwater school district and the state of Oklahoma in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

Westwood Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with 73% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 57% for Stillwater and 51% for the state. The school's spending per student is lower than nearby schools like Richmond, Skyline, Highland Park, and Sangre Ridge, yet it outperforms them academically. Westwood Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 12.8 to 15.6 students per teacher.

The school's consistent high performance across multiple years and its ability to maintain a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger is a testament to the excellence of its educational practices. While the school performs exceptionally well for its White students, its performance for low socioeconomic status students, while still above the state average, is not as strong. This suggests that the school may need to focus more on addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged population to ensure equitable 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.
