Summary:
The Westwood Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
The district's schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with a few standout institutions. Jessie F. George Elementary and Berkeley Elementary consistently rank among the top 20% of New Jersey elementary schools, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the district's performance in Algebra I, particularly at the Westwood Regional High School, is an area of concern, with proficiency rates well below the state average.
While the district's high school performs well, ranking in the top 30% of New Jersey high schools, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools. Additionally, the significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates among the schools may indicate socioeconomic disparities within the district, which could be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students.
