Several schools in the Westport School District stand out for their exceptional performance.

The Westport School District consistently outperforms the state average in all subject areas and grade levels, often by a significant margin. The district's performance on standardized assessments, such as the SAT, SBAC, and NGSS, is exceptionally high, indicating a strong academic focus across all grade levels. However, the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state would like to see, and further analysis of equity, attendance, and resource allocation could provide additional insights to help the district continue to improve and serve all students effectively.
