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.

Westfield is a great school! There are lots of additional activities put on by volunteers and parents. The teachers and administration are caring and involved. I have enjoyed it more than any other school my children have attended. They are aware of my students and their individual needs, and they communicate well to help me as a parent! I am grateful for the support. Close Quote

My family has been at Westfield for seven years and we love it! The teachers are phenomenal and really care about the students. I have yet to experience a teacher we don't like. Principal Thomas runs a great school and is always willing to listen to and help parents. The parents in this community are amazing too. There is so much support for PTA programs and in-class volunteers. I really appreciate that Westfield offers the ALL Program for advanced students, as well as daily extra help for students who need it. Westfield values achievement and boasts high test scores, but doesn't neglect character and complete development of students as good human beings. It is a happy place and I feel lucky my kids get to attend here. 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.
