Westport

Westport is a Massachusetts district with three schools — two elementary schools and one combined middle-high school serving grades 5–12 — enrolling about 1,515 students and ranked 210th of 351 districts statewide at the 40th percentile with 2 stars. There is no separately reported middle school, so grades 5–8 and 9–12 are combined in a single building at Westport Middle-High School, which holds roughly 58.7% of all students and is the largest of the three. Free/reduced lunch figures are blank for every school, so family-income context is treated as unknown.

Westport Elementary is the clearest academic bright spot: its All Grades math proficiency is 44.59%, above both the state (41.11%) and the district (33.38%), and its 3rd grade math score of 51.28% is nearly 9 points above the state's 42.19%. Its ELA (37.34%) is above district but below state, and 4th grade is below state in both ELA (27.83% vs 37.43%) and math (37.72% vs 43.20%). Alice A Macomber serves PK–K only, so it has no test scores or rank history; it has the highest student-teacher ratio at 15.0. Westport Middle-High tells a two-part story: All Grades ELA (29.02%) and math (28.96%) trail state by 11–12 points, driven by grades 5–8 (6th grade math is 19.49% vs state 42.59%), yet 10th grade ELA, science, and biology are above state, graduation is 96.8% and dropout 2.1%. Its rank climbed from the 33rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, rising from 2 to 3 stars.

Science is the district's standout strength, at 43.97% versus the state's 40.98%, with Westport Middle-High above state at All Grades, 5th, 8th, 10th, and Biology End of Course. Middle-grade ELA and math remain the main challenge. On spending, Westport Middle-High has the highest per-pupil amount ($18,449) and lowest student-teacher ratio (11.4), yet lower All Grades math than Westport Elementary ($16,311, ratio 11.6); these comparisons are cautious since the schools serve different grades and spending data is from 2020-2021.
