High Schools in Westfield

The Westfield school district in Massachusetts is home to three high schools: Westfield High, Westfield Technical Academy, and Westfield Virtual School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of educational opportunities, from traditional academics to vocational training and virtual learning.

Westfield High stands out as the largest and highest-performing high school in the district, with the highest overall test scores, a 4-year graduation rate of 87.3%, and a lower dropout rate of 6.2%. In contrast, Westfield Technical Academy, a specialized vocational school, has lower academic performance on standardized tests but maintains similar graduation and dropout rates to the traditional high school.

Overall, the Westfield school district is ranked 254 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement across the high schools. The consistent graduation and dropout rates across the three schools suggest a district-wide focus on student retention and support, but the varying academic outcomes suggest a need to address disparities in educational quality and opportunities.
