Summary:
The Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter (District) is a single-school Massachusetts district on Cape Cod, serving grades 6 through 8 at one middle school, Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School, with 251 students at 195 Route 137 in East Harwich. Because the district has just one school, district-level scores and school-level scores are the same.
On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, the school's strongest area is English language arts: all grades scored 54.58 against the state's 40.03, about 14.6 points above state, with 6th grade ELA at 60.71, roughly 20.5 points above the state 6th-grade average. Science came in at 51.35 versus a state 40.98, and 8th-grade civics at 49.32 versus 39.77. Science also posted the biggest year-over-year gain, rising from 38.10 in 2024–2025 to 51.35 in 2025–2026, a jump of 13.25 points. Civics slipped 9.01 points over the same period (58.33 to 49.32) but stayed above state. Mathematics is the lagging area: all grades 35.42 versus the state's 41.11, with 8th grade at 31.08 against 41.67 and 6th grade at 35.71 against 42.59. 7th-grade math was the bright spot at 39.02 versus 37.48.
Overall, the school ranks 147th of 478 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 218th of 493 (56th percentile) in 2023–2024 — a 71-position climb — while holding at 3 stars. Other profile data: a student–teacher ratio of 11.7 in 2024–2025, per-student spending of $19,966 from 2020–2021 (dated, so not comparable to current spending), and free/reduced lunch data that is blank for 2024–2025 and therefore unknown. In short, a small middle school with strong ELA, science, and civics outcomes, an improving rank, and a clear math opportunity, especially in 8th grade.
