Summary:
Zip code 74074 has four schools: three elementary schools serving prekindergarten through grade 5 and one middle school serving grades 6–7, with no high school in the area. The elementary schools’ 2025–2026 results vary widely, so the overall picture depends on which school a family considers. The clearest standout is Westwood Elementary School, which had the highest all-grade proficiency in every reported subject.
Westwood led the elementary schools with 60% proficiency in ELA, 72% in math, and 77% in science. Sangre Ridge Elementary School was also above state results in all three subjects, at 51% in ELA, 60% in math, and 48% in science. Highland Park Elementary School had the lowest elementary results: 26% in ELA, 31% in math, and 34% in science. Compared with Westwood, that is a 34-point gap in ELA, 41 points in math, and 43 points in science. Stillwater Middle School had 45% proficiency in ELA and 54% in math, both above state results; its grades 6–7 are best considered separately from the elementary schools.
Scores changed in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Westwood rose 5 points in math and 11 in science, while Sangre Ridge fell 7 points in ELA, 11 in math, and 21 in science; Highland Park’s math fell 8 points. Stillwater Middle rose 7 points in ELA and 6 in math. SchoolDigger ranked Westwood 1st of 626 elementary schools, Sangre Ridge 32nd, Highland Park 309th, and Stillwater Middle 10th of 378 middle schools. The schools also differ in context: for 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 32% at Westwood, 29% at Sangre Ridge, 72% at Highland Park, and 48% at Stillwater Middle. Westwood’s student-teacher ratio was 16.8, compared with 14.8 at Highland Park and 15.1 at Sangre Ridge. These figures provide context, not an explanation for score differences; elementary and middle-school results are not like-for-like comparisons.
