Elementary Schools in Provincetown

Elementary Schools located in Provincetown consist of a single school: Provincetown Schools, which is listed as an elementary school but actually serves students from PK through 8th grade. It enrolls 152 students at 12 Winslow Street in Provincetown, and because the Provincetown district contains only this one school, school-level and district-level results are identical. Enrollment is small, the student-teacher ratio was 7.6:1 in 2024-2025 (implying roughly 20 teachers), and per-student spending was $44,861 in 2020-2021. The free/reduced lunch figure is blank in the data, so it is unknown rather than zero.

Academically, Science is the clear bright spot. All-grades Science proficiency was 60% in 2024-2025 versus 41.51% statewide, and 50% in 2025-2026 versus 40.98% statewide — the only subject where the school beats the state. Still, the one reported grade-level Science result, 8th grade at 35.29%, was slightly below the state's 38.93%. Math is the biggest concern: 20.83% proficient at all grades in 2025-2026 versus 41.11% statewide, and every reported grade was below state, with 3rd grade lowest at 9.09% against 42.19%. ELA was also below state at every grade, ranging from 18.18% in 3rd grade to 35.29% in 8th grade; 8th grade ELA came closest to the state, 6.41 points behind.

Results have moved around. The school ranked at the 19th percentile in 2023-2024, rose to the 36th percentile with 2 stars in 2024-2025, then fell to the 12th percentile with 1 star in 2025-2026. Between the two MCAS years, ELA dropped 5.85 points, Math 4.49 points, and Science 10 points, while state results barely changed. With only 152 students, individual grade cohorts are tiny, so percentages can swing sharply from year to year; also not every grade-level row appears in this data.
