Westport School District

The Westport School District in Connecticut is home to 8 highly-ranked schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is a standout performer, ranking 4th out of 158 districts in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Staples High School, ranked 3rd out of 145 high schools in Connecticut, and Coleytown Middle School, ranked 7th out of 250 middle schools. King's Highway Elementary School also stands out, ranking 13th out of 497 elementary schools in the state. These schools have consistently been among the top performers in their respective categories over the past 3 years.

The Westport School District as a whole demonstrates exceptional academic performance, with students scoring significantly higher than the state averages on ELA, Math, and Science assessments at all grade levels. This is likely due to the district's high per-student spending, low student-teacher ratios, and strong commitment to educational excellence. However, the district may benefit from further examination of equity and access, as the low rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients suggest the schools may not be serving a highly economically diverse population.
