Summary:

Zip code 06880 (Westport, CT) is home to 8 schools in the Westport School District, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving 5,161 students in one of Connecticut's most affluent and high-performing communities. The district ranks 10th out of 153 districts in Connecticut (93rd percentile) with a 5-star rating, and every school in the zip code ranks in the top 16% of its school type, with most in the top 10%. Free/reduced lunch rates average just 2.67% districtwide, and test scores run 50 to 60 percentage points above state averages in subjects like math and ELA.

Staples High School is the crown jewel, ranked #3 in Connecticut with a 98.5% graduation rate and SAT proficiency scores (90.5% ELA, 73.2% math) that dwarf state averages. Among middle schools, Coleytown Middle School edges out Bedford Middle School: it ranks #5 vs. #9, posts higher 7th-grade scores in both ELA (88.6% vs. 84.1%) and math (86.7% vs. 80.2%), and has lower chronic absenteeism (5.9% vs. 8.0%), though the larger Bedford Middle School is improving faster. At the elementary level, Saugatuck Elementary School has the best trajectory, climbing from #39 to #24 in three years with strong cohort growth, while Long Lots School boasts an incredible 1.1% chronic absenteeism rate, roughly 1/15th the state average.

The main concerns are at Coleytown Elementary School and King's Highway Elementary School, both of which have declined sharply in state rank (#21→#77 and #13→#52 over three years). Coleytown Elementary is the district's math weak spot, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency in the 69-72% range versus district averages of 75-81%. King's Highway Elementary School saw 3rd-grade ELA drop to 64.1% in 2025-26. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low overall, though Staples High School (9.2%) and Bedford Middle School (8.0%) exceed the district average of 6.6%. A districtwide 6th-grade ELA dip from 86.1% to 76.1% appears to be a cohort effect hitting both middle schools equally. Despite these variations, this remains one of Connecticut's strongest districts.
