Summary:
Elementary schools in Westfield, MA include four schools — Munger Hill, Paper Mill, Southampton Road, and Highland — serving about 1,247 students combined, with Munger Hill, Southampton Road, and Highland covering PK–4 and Paper Mill covering K–4. Enrollment is tightly clustered between 305 and 320 students per school, and all four sit within the Westfield district, which ranks 241st of 351 districts statewide, at the 31st percentile with 2 stars.
Performance varies widely within this small group. Highland is the standout: its 2025–26 all-grade math proficiency of 55.66% is 21 points above the district and 14.55 points above the state, and it climbed from 37th percentile (2 stars) in 2023–24 to 60th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–26. Southampton Road is the most consistent, holding 3 stars in all three years and posting 46.67% in math and 40.15% in ELA. Paper Mill improved in both subjects year over year and beats the district in both, but remains below the state. Munger Hill trails the district and state in essentially every reported subject and grade, and its rank fell from 32nd percentile to 22nd percentile, dropping to 1 star.
Grade-level results can diverge sharply from school-wide averages — Southampton Road's 3rd-grade ELA reaches 59.32% while its 4th-grade ELA is 24.66%, and Highland's 4th-grade math is 61.11% versus 50.00% in 3rd grade. No test score here is reported as suppressed or as a range, so all figures are treated as exact. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for every school, so economic context cannot be compared, and spending figures are from 2020–21.
