Summary:
Westfield, Massachusetts has two middle schools — Westfield Intermediate School, serving grades 5–6 with 729 students, and Westfield Middle School, serving grades 7–8 with 671 students — for a combined 1,400 students in the Westfield district, which ranks 241st of 351 districts in the state (31st percentile, 2 stars). The data cover MCAS Next Generation percent-proficient results for 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, grade-level detail for 2025–2026, student-teacher ratios from 2024–2025, and per-student spending from 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools, meaning they are unknown rather than zero.
In the 2025–2026 all-grade results, Westfield Intermediate is the stronger performer, beating the district in all three subjects: ELA 34.23 (district 31.31), math 37.16 (district 34.66), and science 42.51 (district 34.50, state all-grade 40.98). Its 6th-grade math of 40.60 is close to the state's 42.59. Westfield Middle's all-grade scores are lower — ELA 29.61, math 33.28, science 26.91 — below both district and state. But because it serves only grades 7–8, same-grade comparisons are fairer: it is above district in every grade-level subject, while still well below state, with 8th-grade science of 26.91 sitting 12.02 points under the 8th-grade state figure.
Trends at Westfield Middle warrant caution: all-grade ELA fell 6.47 points year over year and science 5.91 points, both steeper than district or state declines, and its rank slipped from the 53rd percentile (3 stars) to the 45th percentile (2 stars). Eighth-grade civics was a bright spot at 42.90 in 2024–2025, above state, but dropped to 36.88 in 2025–2026. Resources look similar at the two schools, with student-teacher ratios of 11.2 and 11.7 and per-student spending differing by just $134.
