Summary

Westfield High is a large comprehensive high school in Chantilly, VA, serving 2,737 students in grades 9–12 as part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a district that ranks 39th out of 131 districts in Virginia. Westfield itself, however, holds a much more modest state ranking—221st out of 331 Virginia high schools (33rd percentile) for 2025–2026. That places it well behind nearly every comparable high school within roughly 8 miles; nearby schools like Chantilly High, Centreville High, and several Loudoun County schools rank significantly higher.

Parents should be aware of a few concerning trends. Westfield's graduation rate has fallen from 97.5% in 2022–2023 to 93.1% in 2024–2025, while the dropout rate more than doubled from 2.0% to 5.4%. By comparison, Chantilly High posted a 96.0% graduation rate and a 2.7% dropout rate during the same year. Test scores are also mixed: 9th grade Geometry proficiency was 76.5% versus a district rate of 90.6%, and 10th grade Geometry proficiency dropped to just 20.9%. On a more positive note, 11th grade Chemistry proficiency was a bright spot at 54.5%, above both the district (43.1%) and state (37.6%) averages.

One of Westfield's clear strengths is attendance—chronic absenteeism fell to 11.6% in 2024–2025, better than the state average and several nearby Fairfax County schools like South Lakes High (20.7%) and Centreville High (18.1%). Per-pupil spending at Westfield is about $11,149, similar to other Fairfax schools but well below many high-performing neighbors in Loudoun County, which spend between $16,000 and $17,600. The school shows meaningful success with students with disabilities, military-connected students, and African American students, but Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students rank notably lower, which is an equity concern. Given that Westfield serves a higher-need population than many nearby elite schools—with 35.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch—the school's attendance record and subgroup successes show that improvement is possible, though the declining graduation trends deserve urgent attention.
