District-Level NCES Analysis
Westfield-Washington Schools operates 10 public schools serving 9,180 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 combined, 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Hamilton County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,937 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 406 Indiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Indiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 45.4% local, 50.6% state, and 4.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 24/100, ranked #336 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (30 AP courses district-wide), a 586.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.6% White, 11.3% Hispanic or Latino, 5.9% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Virginia F. Wood Early Learning Center, with a diversity index of 65.5/100.
Its largest campus is Westfield High School, enrolling 2,948 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Virginia F. Wood Early Learning Center, at 100 students, a 29x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Westfield High School accounts for 29.1% of all Westfield-Washington Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Westfield-Washington Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Westfield-Washington Schools school enrollment varies 29× across entities
Westfield-Washington Schools school enrollment ranges from 100 students (lowest) to 2,948 students (highest), a spread of 2,848 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Westfield-Washington Schools student-counselor ratio is 586:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Westfield-Washington Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 9.2% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
