Westbrook’s Commitment to ALL Children in Our Schools

Westbrook Public Schools is committed to the success of every child by supporting the individual and unique needs of all children in a positive, inclusive, empathetic, and caring school community.  Westbrook Public Schools believes and values that all children are unique individuals with different needs, interests, talents, and passions and that our schools and school community are deeply committed to embracing and supporting those differences. 

Westbrook Public Schools believes that to ensure the success of all students and the educational priorities identified in our Westbrook Portrait of a Graduate, we need to ensure equitable access and delivery of educational services. Equitable access in Westbrook Public Schools means providing resources, experiences, opportunities, and supports to meet the varied and individual needs of each student.

Westbrook Portrait of a Graduate

  

The school community and the community of Westbrook collaborated to share their perspectives and values about educational priorities for all students in Westbrook Public Schools.  The Board approved the Westbrook Portrait of a Graduate in 2022.  We are proud of the inclusive nature of our community discourse and confident that our shared vision of the Westbrook Portrait of Graduate represents well the educational values and beliefs of the Westbrook community for the youth of Westbrook.  The Westbrook Portrait of a Graduate includes six priority attributes that describe the Westbrook High School graduate: critical problem-solver, creative thinker, effective communicator, perseverant, socially aware, and responsible decision maker.

During the 2023-2024 school year, our school leaders, educators, and students have been hard at work learning what each Westbrook Portrait of a Graduate attribute means in their day to day experiences in our schools in the classroom and in a wide range of activities.  To learn more about the progress of our work at each school and district-wide, please visit one of the following links.

  • Athletic Updates for Westbrook High School

    As we head into the final stretch of the winter season, it’s hard to believe the regular season is already coming to a close! Our student-athletes have worked incredibly hard, and we are so proud of the commitment, growth, and sportsmanship they’ve demonstrated each day. Teams are now shifting their focus toward post-season play, and the energy in practices has been outstanding. We are excited to see our athletes compete and finish strong!

    While the winter season winds down, signs of spring are right around the corner and so are spring sports! Registration is now officially open. Warmer days, fresh starts, and new opportunities to compete are on the way. We can’t wait to see our fields and courts come back to life with Baseball, Softball, Tennis, and Outdoor Track and Field.

    Be sure to register by Monday, March 13th to ensure your student is cleared and ready to begin on the first day of the season. Let’s finish winter strong and get ready to spring into a new season!

  • Westbrook Middle School Named #15 Best Middle School in Connecticut by US News and World Report 2025 Rankings

    Westbrook Public Schools is pleased to announce that Westbrook Middle School was ranked #15 in Connecticut by US News and World Report. The primary indicator in the Connecticut Best Middle Schools rankings data is student performance in mathematics and English language arts as measured by the Connecticut Smarter Balanced Assessment. Smarter Balanced assessment results from the last three years demonstrate strong student growth and high achievement in both reading and math year after year for Westbrook Middle School students.

    Dr. Kristina Martineau, Westbrook Superintendent of Schools shared, “While this ranking and related assessment data is just one measure of the success of our students and school community, we are so proud of our students and educators for their hard work to achieve at this level in company with the highest performing schools in the state of Connecticut. There is a strong culture of individualized support and deep level of commitment to all students in our care in Westbrook- our educators work hard each and every day to provide the best possible educational experience for our students.” 

    Westbrook Middle School Principal Matthew Talmadge shared, “Over the past several years, we have maintained a steadfast focus on providing a clear, coherent curriculum, adhering to traditional and proven literacy practices, and committing to research-tested teaching methods that create a strong foundation for student success. Combined with robust systems of reinforcement and enrichment for learners in need of support or advancement, we have created an educational model where all students can achieve at levels that match their potential.”
