Summary:
ZIP code 01085 in Westfield, Massachusetts has four elementary schools — Munger Hill, Paper Mill, Southampton Road, and Highland — all in the Westfield district, serving prekindergarten or kindergarten through grade 4, with a combined enrollment of 1,247 students (roughly 305–320 per school). The district as a whole is ranked 241 of 351 (31st percentile, 2 stars), and its 2025–2026 averages — 31.31% in ELA and 34.66% in math — trail the state's 40.03% and 41.11%. Free/reduced-lunch data were unavailable for all four schools.
Highland and Southampton Road are the top performers, with different strengths. Highland posts the top math results: 55.66% all-grade math, 21 points above the district and 14.55 points above the state, plus the highest single grade-level score in the data at 61.11% in grade-4 math. Its rank rose from the 37th to the 60th percentile and its stars from 2 to 3. Southampton Road has held 3 stars for three straight years, exceeds the state in both subjects (ELA 40.15%, math 46.67%), and has standout grade-3 results: 59.32% in ELA and 54.10% in math. Its caveat is unevenness — all-grade ELA slipped from 47.11% to 40.15%, and grade-4 ELA is 24.66%.
Paper Mill sits in the middle but is moving up, improving from 30.77% to 34.56% in ELA and 35.04% to 38.06% in math — above the district in both, though still below the state. Munger Hill is the clear lagging school: the only one below the district in both subjects (ELA 27.72%, math 26.00%), at the 22nd percentile with 1 star, and declining slightly year over year. Notably, grade-4 ELA is a weak spot across the group; only Paper Mill (35.38%) and Highland (35.19%) approach the state's 37.43%. Class size and spending show no simple relationship with results.
