Westfield Washington Schools (WWS) is the fastest-growing district in Indiana.
To meet the needs of the expanding community, two new elementary schools will open in fall 2026, followed by a new middle school in 2027. With this growth comes the need to rebalance the schools to keep resources and opportunities aligned for all students.
School rebalancing is the process of adjusting school attendance zone boundaries to achieve a more equitable distribution of resources, facilities, and student demographics across the school district. This action is typically used to address issues caused by shifting residential patterns and population growth or decline.
Earlier this school year, WWS invited community members to volunteer for the Rebalancing Committee. The district is also partnering with longtime demographer Dr. Jerry McKibben, who uses data from government censuses, birth rates, student enrollment, and building permits to help guide this work. Together, the committee and district leadership have worked to develop a final recommendation that will be presented to the Board of School Trustees on Nov. 11.

demography is totally a joke for disregarding kids’ need and parents will!
