Westwood Elementary

Summary:

Westwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Manchester, Tennessee, serving 574 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and higher spending per student compared to the state average.

Westwood Elementary has a more racially diverse student body than nearby schools, with a makeup of 59.06% White, 3.83% African American, 30.66% Hispanic, 2.26% Asian, and 4.01% two or more races. Academically, the school consistently outperforms the Manchester District and the state of Tennessee in Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for African American, English Language Learner, and Special Education students compared to other subgroups.

While Westwood Elementary maintains a stable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 266 out of 985 Tennessee elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 455 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024. This could be due to the performance of other schools improving at a faster rate. Interestingly, the nearby College Street Elementary has consistently outperformed Westwood in academic subjects and has a higher statewide ranking, providing valuable insights for Westwood to learn from its neighbor's best practices.

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.
