Summary:
The four elementary schools in Westwood Regional School District serve kindergarten through grade 5 and enroll 1,278 students altogether; the clearest district-wide finding is that every school scored above the state in all 12 listed 2025–26 ELA and math comparisons, with average leads of 18 points in ELA and 20 points in math.
Jessie F. George Elementary has the strongest broad profile, with average results of 72% in ELA and 75% in math across grades 3–5, and leads in four of the six ELA and math grade comparisons. Berkeley Elementary is the grade 5 standout, leading in ELA (80%), math (82%) and science (56%). At the lower end, Washington Elementary School is lowest in four of seven listed comparisons, including grade 5 math at 53% and science at 36%. The grade 5 math gap between Berkeley and Washington is 30 points. Brookside Elementary School has the lowest three-grade averages in ELA (62%) and math (61%); overall school results span 25 points in ELA and 30 points in math.
Average ELA results declined 9 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and math declined 5 points, narrowing the schools’ average leads over the state. Grade 5 science moved the other way: the school average rose 5 points as the state result fell, widening the average school-state gap to 19 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings range from the 72nd percentile for Washington to the 88th for Jessie F. George; Berkeley’s rank fell from the 96th to the 81st percentile over the three years shown, while it still leads grade 5 results. In 2024–25, Brookside had the lowest chronic absenteeism (3%) and lowest reported per-student spending ($12,724); Washington had the highest school absenteeism (12%). Berkeley had the highest free/reduced lunch eligible share, 18% in 2024–25, yet led the three grade 5 comparisons. Student-teacher ratios range from 9.6 at Jessie F. George to 11.0 at Washington; these differences offer context, not an explanation for test results.
