Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the 03467 zip code - Westmoreland School, which serves grades K-8 and is part of the Westmoreland School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and serves a predominantly white, relatively affluent student population, its academic performance has been a concern, with declining statewide rankings and below-average proficiency rates in mathematics.
Westmoreland School's statewide ranking has dropped from 124th out of 233 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 149th out of 234 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are consistently below the state averages, with the overall math proficiency rate being 6 percentage points lower than the state in 2023-2024. However, the school's reading proficiency rates are more promising, with the 7th-grade reading proficiency rate reaching 76% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state's 54%.
While Westmoreland School's small student-teacher ratio and relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (21.82%) suggest the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support, the declining statewide ranking and below-average mathematics performance are areas that warrant further investigation and potential improvement efforts. The school's strengths in reading proficiency indicate that it may be doing a better job of supporting student learning in that subject area.
