Summary

Westport Middle-High School is a public school in Westport, MA — a small town near Fall River and New Bedford — serving grades 5–12 with 889 students as the sole middle/high school in the Westport district. It ranked 141st of 353 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (60th percentile, 3 stars), a notable recovery from the 29th percentile in 2022–2023 and close to its earlier highs.

Because the school covers grades 5–12, its all-grade scores blend middle school and high school results. Tenth-grade outcomes are a relative strength: Westport was above the state in ELA and science and close to the state in math, with the highest 10th-grade ELA, math, and science proficiency among the nearby schools compared. Its all-grade numbers look weaker — about 29% proficient in both ELA and math, below state averages, while science at 44% was above both the state and district. Grades 5–8 pull down those all-grade averages in ELA and math, though 7th-grade math and 5th-grade science were above state. Graduation and dropout outcomes are strong: 96.8% of students graduated and 2.1% dropped out in 2024–2025, compared with 87.9% and 7.7% in 2020–2021.

Among nearby schools, Westport narrowly leads Dartmouth High in overall rank and is well ahead of B M C Durfee High, New Bedford High, the regional vocational schools, and the charter and alternative schools. Dartmouth High remains stronger in Biology. The school's measured effectiveness for special education students and low-income students improved sharply, reaching the 60th and 51st percentiles, and per-pupil spending of $18,449 is above most nearby comprehensive high schools.
