Summary

Westwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Manchester, Tennessee, serving 572 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Manchester District, which is ranked 61 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Westwood Elementary consistently outperforms the Manchester district and the state of Tennessee in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 47.5% of Westwood students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 42.4% for the Manchester district and 42.2% for the state. In English language arts, 43.2% of Westwood students were proficient or better, compared to 40.9% for the Manchester district and 38.9% for the state. The school also maintains strong performance across different student subgroups, with male and Hispanic students outperforming their peers at the state level.

However, Westwood Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.4% in 2022-2023 to 18.9% in 2023-2024. This trend warrants further investigation and intervention to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. While Westwood's performance is generally stronger than the nearby College Street Elementary, some schools in the Tullahoma and Coffee County districts, such as Jack T Farrar Elementary and Hillsboro Elementary, have shown comparable or even stronger performance in certain subject areas and grade levels.
