Westford faculty and staff review multiple data points throughout the school year and engage in ongoing professional development.  

Westford School reports for accountability are available via the Vermont Agency of Education.  These contain current and past school performance on the SBAC and New English Common Assessment Program.   Westford students consistently perform well on these assessments.  Our formative assessments provide the information necessary to continually improve our practices while our summative academic data is a point of pride.
