Summary:
The city of Eastham, Massachusetts has exactly one public school: Eastham Elementary, an elementary school at 200 Schoolhouse Road serving grades K–5 with 177 students. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in the area, so families here move on to neighboring districts after grade 5. Because the Eastham district contains only this one school, school-level and district-level results are identical — the district ranks 114 of 351, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars, and the student-teacher ratio was 7.9 in 2024–2025, a low ratio consistent with a small school.
In 2025–2026, all-grade MCAS proficiency at Eastham Elementary was 49.46% in English Language Arts, 49.46% in mathematics, and 80.77% in science, compared with state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Science is the standout: 80.77% proficient is nearly double the state figure, and since the school only tests science in grade 5, that result reflects grade 5 performance. Grade 5 was strong across the board in 2025–2026 — 64.00% in ELA, 65.38% in math, and 80.77% in science, each far above state averages. The one below-state result was grade 3 ELA at 39.29% versus 42.79% statewide.
Year over year, ELA fell from 58.70% to 49.46% and math from 57.45% to 49.46%, though both remain above state averages, while science rose from 64.29% to 80.77%. The school's rank moved from 198 of 906 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 to 285 of 899 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — still top third, but no longer top quartile. Note that the free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported and per-student spending of $26,632 is from 2020–2021, so both should be treated as limited context.
