Summary

Westport Elementary is a grades 1–4 school with 463 students in Westport, MA, a South Coast town near Fall River and New Bedford, and it belongs to the Westport district. Statewide it ranks 471st of 899 elementary schools (48th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranks 210th of 351 (40th percentile, 2 stars). Academically, the school is slightly above the state median in math and below it in English language arts: 44.59% of students were proficient in math versus 41.11% statewide, and 37.34% in ELA versus 40.03% statewide. It outperforms its own district in both subjects, a useful signal for families comparing it with other Westport schools.

Among nearby schools with comparable data, Westport Elementary's math proficiency is the highest — ahead of George H Potter (42.00%), Elizabeth Carter Brooks (38.06%) and James M. Quinn (36.99%). Its ELA results are mid-pack: below those three, but above most Fall River and New Bedford schools. Overall, it sits between those lower-performing urban districts and the stronger Dartmouth system. Classes are relatively small — an 11.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, lower than most neighbors — while per-student spending of $16,311 in 2020–21 is mid-range, and nearby schools that spent less sometimes posted higher scores. Inside the school, grade 3 is a clear strength, above the state in both subjects, while grade 4 falls below the state in both and is the most obvious place to focus.

The recent trend is encouraging but mixed over the long run: the school rose from the 41st percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25 to the 48th in 2025–26, still well below the 60th percentile in 2020–21 and the 71st in 2015–16. Math has hovered in the low-to-mid 40s, and ELA has climbed each year, from 33.63% to 37.34%. Results vary by student group: female students, low-income students, and students with disabilities rank at or above the state median, while male students rank below it. Two data limits matter: free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable, so poverty comparisons cannot be made, and since the school ends at grade 4, there are no grade-5 science MCAS results.
