Summary

Westfield High is a public high school located in Chantilly, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,746 students. It is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westfield High's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from a high of 81st out of 324 Virginia high schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 273rd out of 327 in 2020-2021. Its current ranking for 2024-2025 is 231st out of 328, indicating a relatively average performance compared to other Virginia high schools. The school's graduation rate has been relatively high, ranging from 91.9% to 96.0% over the past few years, but its dropout rate has also been higher, ranging from 3.2% to 5.4% during the same period. Additionally, Westfield High has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.8% to 19.3% in recent years, which is significantly above the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Westfield High generally outperforms the lower-ranked Mountain View High but lags behind the higher-performing Chantilly High and the Loudoun County schools in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and other key metrics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and multi-racial students tending to perform better than Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students. Addressing these disparities and the high chronic absenteeism rates could be key priorities for Westfield High to improve its overall academic outcomes.
