| How is our school doing overall? |
| Accountability and assistance levels |

| Not meeting gap narrowing goals |
| Our district |
| One or more schools in the district classified into Level 3 |
Most schools are assigned a level from 1-5, with those meeting their proficiency gap-narrowing goals in Level 1 and the lowest performing in Levels 4 and 5.
A district is typically assigned a level based on the level of its lowest performing school. Placing schools and districts into levels helps districts know which schools need more support,
and helps the state know which districts need the most assistance.

| What else should you know about our school? |
| Westfield High School is currently a Level 3 school as determined by the MCAS tests that our 10th grade students take each spring. Overall, Westfield High School performed well on the MCAS Examinations but continued our status of Level 3 due to not meeting state growth targets for all students, students with high needs, and students with disabilities. As a school, we continually address the reasons for our status and are developing interventions to insure student growth, development, and success. We offer Academic Support classes for many students during the school day, utilize Math 180 and Read 180 programs to foster the development of student skills, and have implemented freshmen teams this school year to provide greater support for our students. As we prepare to take the MCAS exam in spring, our students have been well-prepared to perform at a high level. We aspire to continually support student growth and development and to provide a learning atmosphere that enriches students. We are confident that we will continue to improve and raise our status level. If you have any questions in regard to our status level please do not hesitate to contact Principal Charles Jendrysik at c.jendrysik@schoolsofwestfield.org or by calling (413) 572-6394. |
