Summary

Oak Trace Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Westfield, Indiana, serving 582 students as part of Westfield-Washington Schools, a 5-star district ranked 13th of 374 in Indiana. Oak Trace is itself a 5-star school with a long record as a statewide top performer: in 2025–26 it ranked 23rd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools—the 98th percentile—after finishing 8th the prior year and 1st statewide in 2015–16.

Math is this school's clearest strength. All-grades math proficiency is 83.82%, higher than every nearby school, including Smoky Row Elementary School (78.07%) and Maple Glen Elementary (78.73%). Third-grade math is 85.83% and fourth-grade math 81.82%—both the highest among nearby schools, and roughly 30 points above state averages. Reading and science remain above district and state levels but showed a relative dip in 2025–26: all-grades ELA fell from 80.0% to 68.05% and science from 80.7% to 69.42%. Fourth-grade ELA is 64.46%, still above district and state but behind Smoky Row and Maple Glen. Notably, Smoky Row Elementary School now leads nearby schools in ELA and science and ranks 15th statewide versus Oak Trace's 23rd, making it a useful benchmark.
