WESTFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Westford Elementary School is a public elementary school that is part of the Essex Westford Educational Community Unified Union SD #51 school district, located in Westford, VT with about 196 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 16 teachers, Westford Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
