Middle Schools in Dennis-Yarmouth

The Dennis-Yarmouth Middle School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-7 in the Dennis-Yarmouth school district in Massachusetts, with a total enrollment of 445 students.

The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation proficiency rates, has consistently fallen below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 37.87% compared to the state average of 41.53%, while its Mathematics proficiency rate was 29.91% compared to the state average of 40.74%. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 291 out of 501 schools in 2022-2023 to 253 out of 484 schools in the current 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's academic performance, as the data indicates the presence of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and a relatively high per-student spending of $21,467 for the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.3 is lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
