Summary

Westport Elementary is a public elementary school located in Westport, MA, serving grades 1-4 with a total enrollment of 448 students. The school is part of the Westport school district, which is ranked 242 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westport Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in 3rd and 4th grade. The school's performance has been relatively stable over the past few years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 515 and 541 out of around 900-930 Massachusetts elementary schools. However, the school performs better for its low socioeconomic status and disabled student subgroups, ranking in the top 40% and top 30% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively. Despite spending around $16,000 per student, which is higher than the state average and the nearby schools, Westport Elementary's academic performance is not significantly better, suggesting that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to improve student learning.

Compared to nearby schools, Westport Elementary's academic performance is generally better than the schools in the Fall River and New Bedford districts, which are among the lowest-performing districts in the state. However, the nearby schools in the Dartmouth district, such as James M. Quinn School and George H. Potter, significantly outperform Westport Elementary in academic proficiency rates, ranking in the top 40% of Massachusetts elementary schools.

This school has the most wonderful atmosphere... the teachers are happy and the children are thrilled to be in such a great place. They have a wide array of afterschool programs offered and many opportunities to be involved in the school and local community . Close Quote
