Summary

Westfield Area Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades K-6 in the Northern Tioga School District. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with its performance and ranking within Pennsylvania remaining relatively stable over the years.

One of the key strengths of Westfield Area Elementary School is its student performance on PSSA assessments. The school generally outperforms the Northern Tioga School District and the state of Pennsylvania in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 52%, compared to 38.9% for the district and 41.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade Math, where the proficiency rate was 69.5%, significantly higher than the district (57.7%) and state (53.5%).

Another notable aspect of Westfield Area Elementary School is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 100% in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years. This is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's relatively high per-student spending, which has increased from $13,026 in 2019-2020 to $17,353 in 2022-2023, may be contributing to its relatively strong academic performance compared to nearby schools like Charlotte Lappla Elementary School, Don Gill Elementary School, Clark Wood Elementary School, Galeton Area School, and Northern Potter Childrens School.
