Westwood Middle School

Summary:

Westwood Middle School is a public middle school in Manchester, Tennessee, serving 462 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Coffee County district, which is ranked 45 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Westwood Middle School's academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school outperforms the state and district in Science and Social Studies, its proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are below average. However, the school ranks highly for African American and Special Education students, suggesting it is effectively supporting these subgroups. Westwood Middle School also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (22.29%) compared to the state and district, and its high ranking for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds indicates this may be a significant factor in the school's performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Westwood Middle School generally outperforms Harris Middle School and North Middle School, but lags behind the higher-performing Cascade Middle School and East Middle School. The school's increased per-student spending and decreasing student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on improving resources and support for students, which could contribute to its academic performance.

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.
