Edgartown

Edgartown has only one school in this data set — Edgartown Elementary — a school of 357 students that is classified as an Elementary school but actually serves grades PK–8, making it the single elementary and middle school option for families in this small Martha's Vineyard town within the Edgartown district. Because there is just one school, there are no local comparisons to make; the useful benchmarks are Massachusetts state averages and the school's own results from the prior year.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS, Edgartown Elementary scores above the state in English Language Arts (42.04% proficient versus 40.03%) and in Science (51.19% versus 40.98%), but well below the state in Mathematics (30.53% versus 41.11%). The weakness is concentrated in the early and middle grades: 3rd grade math is 18.75% and 5th grade math is 16.33%, each more than 23 points below the state, while 3rd and 5th grade ELA also fall below state averages. Eighth grade is the clear bright spot, beating the state in every subject — ELA (52.78 vs. 41.70), Math (52.78 vs. 41.67), Science (50.00 vs. 38.93) and Civics (55.56 vs. 39.77), with Civics the school's strongest single result at 15.79 points above the state.

Year over year, Math declined from 38.11% to 30.53% and Science from 58.23% to 51.19%, though Science remains comfortably above the state; Civics jumped from 43.90% to 55.56% and ELA edged up from 41.39% to 42.04%. Overall, the school ranks 542 of 899 (40th percentile) with a 2-star rating, up from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024, and the district ranks 196 of 351 (44th percentile). Resources look favorable on paper, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.3 and per-student spending reported at $28,252 for 2020–2021, but the free/reduced lunch field is not reported in this record.
