Summary:
The zip code 53964 contains a single public middle school, Westfield Area Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 and is part of the Westfield School District. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 310 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools in 2023-2024 to 426 out of 640 in 2022-2023.
Westfield Area Middle School's student performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is mixed compared to state averages. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics are above the state averages, but its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science are below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (49.43%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $11,280, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's academic performance metrics suggest that this ratio alone may not be sufficient to drive significant improvements in student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Westfield Area Middle School may need to focus on improving its curriculum and instructional practices, particularly in the subject areas where its performance is lagging behind state averages.
