Summary:
The Westfield Charter Academy district in Michigan operates two schools: Westfield Preparatory High School and Westfield Charter Academy (an elementary school). Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both struggle with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and poor graduation rates compared to state averages.
Across key metrics, the schools in the Westfield Charter Academy district consistently underperform. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on M-STEP and SAT/PSAT assessments compared to state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.8% of 7th graders at Westfield Preparatory High School were proficient in ELA, and just 13.6% were proficient in Math, far below the state averages of 39.2% and 33.3%, respectively. The elementary school, Westfield Charter Academy, also struggles, with only 20.6% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 21.7% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 38.9% and 42.7%.
Other concerning data points include the 82.8% four-year graduation rate and 7.6% dropout rate at Westfield Preparatory High School, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across both schools. Additionally, the schools serve a high-need population, with over 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools spend between $13,172 and $13,812 per student, with student-teacher ratios around 17-20, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the Westfield Charter Academy district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues.
