Summary:

The Falmouth district serves roughly 2,024 students across four schools covering kindergarten through 12th grade: Mullen-Hall (K–4, 364 students), Morse Pond School (grades 5–6, 472), Lawrence (grades 7–8, 474), and Falmouth High (grades 9–12, 714). The middle grades 5–8 together hold about 46.7% of enrollment, and the high school alone accounts for 35.3%. The district is ranked 186 of 351, 47th percentile, 2 stars.

Falmouth High is the clearest success story, moving from 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024 to 69th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, with 10th-grade ELA, Math, and Science all above district and state and a Math gain of 16.53 points. At the middle level, Morse Pond School outperforms Lawrence: Morse Pond's all-grade ELA, Math, and Science are above district and state, while Lawrence's all-grade ELA and Math are below both, and its rank has slid from 131 to 199. Lawrence's bright spot is 8th-grade Civics, above state in both years. Mullen-Hall improved in rank but shows a sharp split, with 3rd-grade ELA and Math above state and 4th-grade far below.

Average student-teacher ratio across the four schools is about 10.45, lowest at Lawrence (9.7) and highest at Morse Pond (11.0), and average per-student spending is about $22,486. Notably, Morse Pond has the lowest spending here yet among the strongest middle-level proficiency, so more spending does not simply mean higher scores. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for all schools, so poverty context is unavailable, and spending data is from 2020–2021. Morse Pond also has no rank history, and "All Grades" scores span different grades across schools.
