In a town such as Westwood, it's no surprise that a premium is placed on education. To judge from standardized testing, the investment the town makes in infrastructure (the high school is brand new) and staffing pays off handsomely as students in the town consistently score above the 95th percentile in MCAS testing (in both math and English). The school boasts equally impressive sports facilities, including a newly refurbished indoor pool and gymnasium and a new multipurpose outdoor field and synthetic track.
