Summary:
The Westwood Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Westwood Pri and Westwood Elementary. Both schools serve different grade levels and appear to be relatively average within the district, which is ranked 898 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data reveals that both Westwood Pri and Westwood Elementary have consistently low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas, significantly trailing the state averages. For example, in 3rd grade reading, Westwood Elementary's proficiency rate is 40.48%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. In 5th grade science, Westwood Elementary's proficiency rate is only 14.43%, compared to the state average of 26.29%. This suggests that the Westwood ISD is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Additionally, both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, with Westwood Pri at 83.33% and Westwood Elementary at 79.73%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The relatively low spending per student, combined with the high poverty levels, may indicate resource challenges that could be impacting the schools' ability to provide quality education. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Westwood ISD.
