Summary

Pine Hill Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Westwood, Massachusetts, serving 473 students as part of Westwood Public Schools, a district ranked 13th of 351 in the state — the 96th percentile, with 5 stars. Statewide, Pine Hill ranked 81st of 899 elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, an improvement from 132nd and 124th in the prior two years. That makes it a high-performing school by state standards, though it is the lowest-ranked of the Westwood elementaries shown, all of which sit in an exceptionally strong district.

Pine Hill's all-grade MCAS proficiency is 63.68% in English language arts and 65.96% in math — more than 23 points above the Massachusetts averages, but about 7 points below the Westwood district in both subjects. Same-district peers rank higher: Martha Jones (7th of 899) and Downey (1st of 899) are both in the top 1% statewide, and William E Sheehan ranks 36th. Science is Pine Hill's standout: 78.95% proficiency, above the district average, nearly 38 points above the state, and more than 34 points above nearby Greenlodge and Oakdale in Dedham. Pine Hill is also far higher in ELA and math than Norwood's nearby elementaries, John P Oldham and Cornelius M Callahan.

By grade, the largest gaps against the district appear in 4th-grade ELA and 5th-grade math, though Pine Hill still exceeds state averages in every subject and grade shown. Its effectiveness with special education students is a clear strength: 27th of 709, the 96th percentile with 5 stars, higher than its overall ranking. With 473 students, Pine Hill is larger than the Westwood K–5 peers (about 271–278 students each) and has a student/teacher ratio of 13.5.
