Summary

Westwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fairview, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 559. It is part of the Williamson County school district, which is ranked 5 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westwood Elementary consistently performs above the state average in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. However, its performance lags behind the Williamson County district average, which is one of the top-performing districts in the state. The school has also experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 7.5% to 20.2%, which is a concern and may impact student learning. Westwood Elementary's per-student spending has steadily increased, from $12,756 in 2020-2021 to $14,684 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Williamson County district, Westwood Elementary lags behind high-performing schools like Pearre Creek Elementary and Hillsboro Elementary/Middle School in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. This suggests that Westwood Elementary may have room for improvement to reach the level of its top-performing peers. Additionally, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is a concern, as they consistently underperform compared to their peers in the state and district, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gap.

Large class sizes up to 1/25. Retaliation to students and parents for asking questions about curriculum and disciplinary policy. Lots of busy work by use of chromebook and worksheets. No professionalism or accountability by administrators. Teacher has been great! Close Quote
