Summary

Westwood Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 339 students in Bloomington, Minnesota, part of Bloomington Public Schools, where about half of students (50.74%) qualify for free or reduced lunch — a higher share than most nearby Bloomington elementaries except New Code Academy Elementary.

Westwood's 2025–2026 rank is 635th of 869 Minnesota schools (27th percentile, one star), while its district ranks 246th of 458 (46th percentile). The school's standing has drifted downward over time: it was at the 41st percentile in 2015–2016, spent most recent years in the low 20s to low 30s, and edged up from 21st percentile in 2024–2025. Its student-teacher ratio of 12.8 is lower than most same-district peers. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 33.7% and reading 35.8%, both below the district (39.0% and 42.3%) and the state (44.9% and 48.6%) — the lowest math and reading results among the listed same-district elementary schools. Science, at 24.3%, beats the district's 19.9% but sits just under the state's 25.5%. Performance varies sharply by grade: 4th-grade math (26.0%) and 3rd-grade reading (26.3%) are the clearest weak spots, while 5th-grade reading (45.8%) is close to district norms. Reading fell after 2022–2023 and improved slightly this year, and science has swung widely from year to year.

Some peer comparisons stand out: Ridgeview Elementary posts 71.2% math and 73.6% reading at the 94th percentile, and Hillcrest Elementary ranks at the 74th. Westwood does outperform Vista View Elementary in all three subjects. Notably, Westwood's effectiveness rankings are higher for Special Education (64th percentile), English Language Learner (59th), African American (55th), and Hispanic (49th) students than its overall 27th percentile, and several of these improved this year.
