Summary

Westwood Elementary School in Warren, MI, is a K-5 public school serving 512 students within the Warren Woods Public Schools district, and it has become a standout performer in an area where many families face economic challenges.

Westwood has shown remarkable and consistent improvement over the past few years, climbing from the 33rd percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. This is especially notable because its own district holds only a 2-star rating. The school excels at supporting students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, with these students ranking in the 80th percentile statewide—a significant achievement. Westwood also posts strong results for its African American and Multi-racial students, who rank in the 81st and 83rd percentiles, respectively. In 4th grade, proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (53.7%) and Math (46.8%) outpace district and state averages by a wide margin. What makes this even more impressive is that Westwood achieves these outcomes while spending less per student ($15,519) than nearby schools like Briarwood Elementary ($18,154) or Wilde Elementary ($20,230).

Westwood is the top performer in its district comparison group, outpacing Pinewood Elementary (56th percentile) and significantly outperforming Briarwood Elementary (31st percentile). The nearby Frontier International Academy Elementary, a charter school serving a nearly all low-income population, ranks in the 73rd percentile, showing that high achievement is possible in this Warren area. While Westwood's academic trajectory is clearly positive, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 27.0%, though this is a major improvement from the 58.2% post-pandemic high. Additionally, 5th-grade results are more variable than 4th grade, suggesting an opportunity to strengthen support as students prepare for middle school. Overall, Westwood demonstrates that effective teaching and efficient resource use can drive meaningful academic gains for all students.
