Summary:

Marstons Mills, Massachusetts has two elementary schools in the Barnstable district: West Villages Elementary School (K–3) and Barnstable United Elementary School (4–5), together enrolling 1,130 students, with no middle or high school in this list. Because West Villages serves K–3 and Barnstable United serves 4–5, the two schools do not offer a direct same-grade comparison. Free/reduced lunch percentages are not available for either school in 2024–2025, and spending figures are from 2020–2021.

West Villages is the academic standout. In 2025–2026, its all-grade ELA proficiency was 55.34%, versus 26.93% in the district and 40.03% statewide, and its math proficiency was 49.51%, versus 26.56% in the district and 41.11% statewide. Its 3rd-grade results follow the same pattern. In 2024–2025, West Villages also posted 54.63% in ELA and 63.89% in math. Barnstable United has a more mixed profile: in 2025–2026, ELA was 25.90% (district 26.93%, state 40.03%), math was 27.19% (district 26.56%, state 41.11%), and science was 32.84% (district 28.45%, state 40.98%). Science is its relative bright spot; in 2024–2025, science was 36.68%, 8.56 points above the district and only 4.83 points below the state. Its rank slipped from 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to 27th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026.

For parents, the key contrast is that West Villages is well above both the district and state in ELA and math, while Barnstable United is generally near the district but below the state in ELA and math, with science closer to the state. Barnstable United has a lower student-teacher ratio, 10.6 versus 12.8, and slightly higher per-student spending in 2020–2021, $19,379 versus $18,826, but those differences do not establish cause, especially given the different grade spans and older spending data. Year over year, Barnstable United declined in ELA, math, and science; West Villages was stable in ELA but saw math fall from 63.89% to 49.51%, still above the district and state. The Barnstable district’s 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency is below the state in ELA, math, and science.
