Westfield High School

Summary:

Westfield High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 2,574 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 776 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westfield High School faces several key challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of minority students compared to the state average, with 40.75% African American and 51.59% Hispanic students. Academically, Westfield High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams ranging from just 8.38% in Algebra I to 48.57% in U.S. History. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 78.9% is lower than the state average, and it has a higher dropout rate than nearby schools like Spring High School and Andy Dekaney High School. Additionally, 81.08% of Westfield High School's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be contributing to the school's challenges.

The underperformance of minority student groups at Westfield High School is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates for African American students in Algebra I at just 12%, compared to the state average of 45%. The school also struggles to meet the needs of English Language Learners and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools for these subgroups. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the broader community to support the success of all students at Westfield High School.

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.

Open Quote Westfield is awesome. Westfield is the best. i think you guys should make more tutorials or mandated tutorials to help students that are stuggling or to help them get over that hump. Close Quote

Open Quote Westfield High School has been realigned, effective about 2008. Current students will finish through graduation. Now all new students will come from subdivisions north of FM1960W and west of I-45. Students from subdivisions and apartment complexes south of FM1960W are now going to the new Dekaney High School on Imperial Valley, east of I-45. Close Quote

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.
