Summary:
The 01085 zip code in Westfield, Massachusetts is home to two middle schools: Westfield Middle School and Westfield Intermediate School. While neither school stands out as a top performer, the data suggests that both institutions face challenges in effectively educating their students, as evidenced by their below-average MCAS proficiency rates compared to state standards.

Overall, the data paints a picture of two middle schools in the 01085 zip code that are performing below state averages, with no clear standout performers. The lack of comprehensive demographic data makes it difficult to assess the factors contributing to the schools' academic performance, but the consistent underperformance on standardized tests suggests that the Westfield school district may need to address systemic challenges to improve educational outcomes for its middle school students.
