of 434 New Jersey High Schools

Better than 90% of New Jersey high schools

Summary

Located in Westfield, New Jersey, Westfield Senior High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,776 students. Its overall results are strong compared with the state, and graduation and attendance indicators are favorable: in 2024–2025, 97% of students graduated, compared with 89% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 2%, versus 14% statewide. The clearest academic concern is Algebra I End of Course: 38% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, below the state’s 40% and the Westfield Public School District’s 71%.

Westfield’s strongest result relative to the state was 11th-grade science, with 66% proficient compared with 29% statewide—a 38-point advantage. But it often trails nearby schools on same-grade tests: its 9th-grade English Language Arts result of 74% was below all five nearby reported results, which ranged from 91% to 100%; its 9th-grade Algebra I result of 39% was also below all five. In Algebra I End of Course, Westfield was below all five nearby results, which ranged from 70% to 100%. Nearby schools include specialized programs, so these comparisons are not necessarily like-for-like.

Results have shifted over time: both Geometry measures fell 17 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while 11th-grade science rose 5 points. Algebra I End of Course fell 9 points over that period, moving from above the state to 2 points below it. SchoolDigger ranked Westfield 43rd of 434 New Jersey high schools in 2025–2026, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars; four of five nearby ranked schools were at the 95th to 99th percentiles. The student-teacher ratio was 11.4 in 2024–2025, and 3% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest reported share among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for African American students rose from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 96th in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 90th-percentile standing. Its 2025–2026 ranking for Multi-racial students was at the 72nd percentile, below the overall ranking.
