Summary

Westwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 617 students. The school is part of the Alhambra Elementary District, which is ranked 234 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westwood Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46% at the state level and 28% at the district level. Similarly, only 14% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 42% at the state level and 28% at the district level. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Arizona, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-20% of schools over the past several years.

Interestingly, the nearby Alhambra Traditional School and Granada Elementary School-West Campus, which are also part of the Alhambra Elementary District, significantly outperform Westwood Elementary School in academic achievement, with much higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Westwood Elementary School are not necessarily shared by all schools in the district. Additionally, Westwood Elementary School has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.84% to 92.92% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
