Summary:
The 07090 zip code area is home to 4 high schools, including Westfield Senior High School, Hillcrest Academy-South, Lamberts Mill Academy, and Work Readiness Academy. These schools serve a diverse range of students and offer varying educational approaches and outcomes.
Westfield Senior High School stands out as the largest and highest-performing school in the group, with a student enrollment of 1,784 and a statewide ranking of #50 out of 434 New Jersey high schools. The school excels academically, with high proficiency rates in NJSLA/NJGPA assessments, a low dropout rate of 1.0%, and a four-year graduation rate of 91.3%. In contrast, the smaller specialized schools, such as Hillcrest Academy-South, Lamberts Mill Academy, and Work Readiness Academy, serve a more economically disadvantaged population, as indicated by their higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The specialized schools also have significantly lower student-teacher ratios, suggesting they provide more individualized attention and support for their students. However, the lack of data for some metrics, such as graduation rates and dropout rates, for these smaller schools makes it difficult to fully evaluate and compare their performance. Collecting and reporting this data consistently would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the educational landscape in the 07090 zip code area.
