Summary

Westwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in De Pere, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 652 students. The school is part of the West De Pere School District, which is ranked 50 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westwood Elementary has shown a mixed performance, with strengths in certain student groups and academic areas, but also challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and addressing rising chronic absenteeism. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades were higher than the state averages, but lower than the West De Pere School District averages. Westwood Elementary has also shown strong performance for specific student groups, such as female students and Hispanic students, but more variable performance for other groups. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.8% in 2023-2024 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

Comparing Westwood Elementary to nearby schools provides valuable insights. The school's academic performance is generally lower than that of the nearby Hemlock Creek Elementary, which is also part of the West De Pere School District and has consistently higher rankings and proficiency rates. In contrast, Westwood Elementary outperforms many of the elementary schools in the neighboring Green Bay Area Public School District, such as Webster Elementary, Langlade Elementary, and Doty Elementary, which have lower rankings and proficiency rates.
