Summary

Westfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 296 students in grades PK-5 in Westfield, NY, which is part of the Westfield Central School District. The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 3-5 and Math for grade 5, but above the state average in Math for grades 3-4. Notably, male students have consistently outperformed female students, while the school's white student group has ranked in the bottom 1/3 of New York elementary schools in recent years.

Westfield Elementary School serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51-55% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Fredonia Elementary School (41.59%) and Bemus Point Elementary School (37.54%). This suggests the school may face additional challenges in supporting its economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $16,747 in 2021-2022 to $25,410 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby Fredonia Elementary School ($24,479) and Bemus Point Elementary School ($21,556).

Overall, Westfield Elementary School appears to be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and addressing disparities in student performance, particularly among its subgroups. The school's high poverty rates and increased spending per student suggest it may be working to address these issues, but further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes for all students.
