Summary:
The Westbrook School District in Connecticut is home to one middle school, Westbrook Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with 126 students in a small, personalized learning environment.
Westbrook Middle School is a standout performer, ranking 17th in the state (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, and 9th (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024. Its math achievement is especially impressive: 8th grade math proficiency reached 85.2% in 2025–2026 compared to 41.9% statewide, a 43.3-point advantage, while 6th grade math also topped state averages by 33.4 points. ELA scores are consistently strong too, running 21–24 points above Connecticut averages across all grades in the most recent year, although 6th grade ELA dipped slightly below state average in 2024–2025 before recovering. The school's student-teacher ratio of 6.2 and high per-student spending of $26,016 support its strong outcomes, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 6.7% is less than half the state's 16.4%.
Because this is the only middle school in the district, district-level results mirror the school's own data, making Westbrook Middle School the primary driver of the district's strong reputation. However, with only 126 students, small cohort sizes can cause notable year-to-year swings in rankings and test scores—the school moved from 9th to 56th to 17th in state rank over three years. Parents should view individual grade-level data with that caveat in mind, but the overall picture is of a well-resourced, high-achieving school where students consistently outperform state averages in both math and reading, with excellent attendance and small classes that allow for close attention to each learner.
