Summary:
The Westport school district in Massachusetts consists of three schools: Westport Middle-High School, Westport Elementary, and Alice A Macomber. The district serves students from pre-K through 12th grade, with the middle-high school being the largest and serving the widest range of grades.
Westport Middle-High School stands out as the district's only high school, with the largest enrollment of 832 students. While its MCAS test scores are generally below the state averages, the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.1% and a low dropout rate of 4.2%. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Westport Elementary and Alice A Macomber, have smaller enrollments and mixed MCAS performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 32-49% across different subjects and grade levels.
Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 89-91%. The percentage of Hispanic students is slightly higher at Westport Elementary, while Alice A Macomber has the highest percentage of Asian students. The district's schools are all ranked 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating a consistent level of performance. However, the data suggests academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where the schools underperform compared to the state averages. The district's resource allocation, with higher spending per student at the middle-high school, may be an area for further evaluation.
