Summary:
Zip code 46074 is served by two middle-level schools — Westfield Middle School (grades 7–8, 1,585 students) and Westfield Intermediate School (grades 5–6, 1,551 students) — together covering grades 5–8 with 3,136 students, both in the elite Westfield-Washington Schools district, which ranks 13th of 374 in Indiana at the 97th percentile with 5 stars.
Comparing the two, Westfield Intermediate School has the stronger overall profile in this snapshot. It beats the district in All Grades ELA (64.67% vs 61.18%) and Science (70.12% vs 64.94%), and its 5th Grade Social Studies score of 71.88% stands far above the state's 47.2%. Its chronic absenteeism of 5.8% is well below the district's 8.2% and the state's 16.7%, and it showed year-over-year growth in ELA (+3.47 points) and 5th Grade Social Studies (+7.90). Westfield Middle School remains a 5-star school but has slipped in state rank from 14th of 491 to 30th of 486 over three reported years, and its chronic absenteeism is 10.0%, above the district though below the state.
Both schools perform far above Indiana averages — grade-level gaps run from roughly +15 to nearly +29 percentage points. Math is the shared relative soft spot: both fall below the district's 65.22% All Grades mark (Westfield Middle 58.03%, Westfield Intermediate 62.8%), even while grade-level math sits well above state figures. Westfield Middle spends more per student ($12,341 vs $11,192) with a lower student-teacher ratio (16.3 vs 17.6), though that is a resource contrast rather than a causal one, since the schools serve different grades and subjects.
