Summary:
Edgartown, Massachusetts is served by a single public school, Edgartown Elementary, which operates within the Edgartown district. Though classified as an elementary school, it actually serves students in grades PK through 8 and enrolls 357 students, so there is no separate middle school, high school, or alternative school in the area. Because the district contains only this one school, district-level MCAS scores are identical to the school's scores, and there are no other local schools to compare it against.
Overall, the school earns a 2-star rating and ranks 542nd of 899 schools (40th percentile) in 2025–2026, up slightly from 598th of 916 (35th percentile) in 2023–2024. That mid-range standing hides a very uneven academic picture. Science is a genuine strength: All Grades proficiency is 51.19% versus the state's 40.98%, and Grade 8 Civics stands at 55.56% against the state's 39.77% — the highest single reported score for the school. Grade 8 students outperform the state in every reported subject: ELA 52.78%, Math 52.78%, Science 50.00%, and Civics 55.56%. ELA overall is slightly above state at 42.04% versus 40.03%. The clear weakness is mathematics, where All Grades proficiency is 30.53% compared with the state's 41.11% — roughly 10.6 points lower. Grade 3 math (18.75% vs. 42.19%) and Grade 5 math (16.33% vs. 39.50%) are the lowest points; only Grade 8 math exceeds the state average.
Looking year over year, ELA improved slightly (+0.65 points), Civics rose sharply (+11.66 points), while math fell 7.58 points and science slipped 7.04 points — though science remains well above the state. Resource context is notable: a student-teacher ratio of 7.3 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $28,252 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data is unavailable, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed. Families should interpret grade-level numbers with caution, since small cohorts can swing results substantially from year to year.
