Summary

Westwood Elementary School in Greenwood, AR, is a high-performing public school serving 839 students in grades PK through 4, and it is part of the top-ranked Greenwood School District (ranked 5th out of 251 districts in Arkansas).

Westwood stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 71.8% of students proficient in Mathematics and 71.3% in Science—far exceeding state averages of 44.1% and 44%, respectively. This places the school in the 96th percentile of all Arkansas elementary schools, a top 5% ranking that has steadily improved from the 85th percentile a decade ago. Compared to nearby schools, Westwood outperforms its district peer East Pointe Elementary School (67.1% Math, 66.1% Science) and the standout John P. Woods Elementary School in the Fort Smith School District (69.8% Math, 59.7% Science). The gap widens dramatically with other Fort Smith schools like Beard Elementary School (49th percentile) and Carnall Elementary School (40th percentile), highlighting Westwood's consistent excellence.

Interestingly, Westwood's success is not driven by higher spending—it spends $11,962 per student, less than lower-performing schools like Carnall ($17,679) and Raymond F. Orr Elementary School ($16,992). Instead, its strong performance is linked to effective resource use and a supportive environment, with about 37% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Westwood also avoids the "4th grade slump" seen at East Pointe, where 4th graders dropped in English and Math compared to 3rd graders, maintaining steady progress through the early grades. For parents, this school offers a proven track record of academic growth and top-tier district support.
