WESTWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL is a public middle school serving grades 06–08 in WINTER HAVEN. It is one of 160 current school records connected to POLK. NCES reports 712 students for 2024–25.
Among 580 middle schools in Florida with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 806.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 37th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 16.2:1, below the Florida median of 19.2:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (45.2%) and Black (32.7%). English learners represent 11.5% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 17.8%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
