Westfield Schools
The Westfield Public School District, in partnership with families and community, educates all students to reach their highest potential as productive, well-balanced and responsible citizens who respect individual differences and diversity in an ever changing world.
In its newly published ranking of the top US public high schools, Newsweek ranks Westfield High School #67 in the US. In addition, it is #2 in open enrollment high schools in New Jersey, according to the ranking.
All kindergarten children attend one school specially designed for our youngest learners. Kindergarten is a half-day program where students attend either a morning or afternoon.
The kindergarten curriculum is broad and rich and introduces children to a wide range of concepts and skills while helping them gain insight into the world. It is organized into three major instructional strands: Language Arts/Social Studies, Mathematics/Science, and Art/Music, Movement and Health.
