King's Highway Elementary School

King's Highway Elementary School serves 463 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Westport, Connecticut. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — backed by an academic score of 8.9 and a growth score of 8.8. That pairing matters: high achievement and continued student progress together signal a school that performs well across ability levels, not just for its strongest students.

The school's statewide standing is clear. It ranks 40th out of 990 public schools in Connecticut, outperforming 96% of schools across the state, and places 35th among 595 Connecticut elementary schools. Within Westport — a district that already draws families specifically for its schools — King's Highway ranks 3rd of 8 public schools.

That's a strong position in a competitive local field. A student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 keeps classrooms small, giving students more access to direct instruction than most public schools offer. For families comparing Westport elementary options, King's Highway sits at the top of the local pool while also ranking among the top handful of elementary schools in the state.

The school's growth scores suggest that advantage isn't static — students continue advancing at a meaningful rate through fifth grade.
