Elementary Schools in Edgartown

Edgartown, Massachusetts is home to a single elementary school, Edgartown Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school benefits from higher-than-average per-student funding, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with proficiency rates below the state averages across most grades and subjects.

Edgartown Elementary's MCAS Next Generation assessment scores show that the school struggles to keep up with the academic standards of other elementary schools in the state. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall proficiency rates were 41.39% in English Language Arts and 38.11% in Math, compared to the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly weak in 3rd and 4th grade Math, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages.

Despite the school's higher level of per-student spending, which reached $28,252 in the 2020-2021 school year, its academic outcomes do not appear to be commensurate with this additional funding. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching practices, or other school-specific challenges, may be contributing to Edgartown Elementary's relatively low performance compared to other elementary schools in Edgartown and across Massachusetts.
