Elementary Schools in Provincetown

Provincetown, Massachusetts is home to a single public elementary school, the Provincetown Schools, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 137 students. While the school's district rank is 262 out of 348 in Massachusetts and it is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 2 stars in 2024-2025 to 1 star in 2023-2024.

Academically, the Provincetown Schools generally lags behind the state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with proficiency rates of 34.62% in ELA and 25.32% in Math in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%, respectively. However, the school performs better on MCAS Science assessments, with 60% proficiency across all grades and 81.82% proficiency in 5th grade, compared to state averages of 41.51% and 45.83%, respectively.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.2 to 1 and significantly higher per-student spending of $44,861 compared to the state average, the data suggests that the district's investment in the Provincetown Schools has not yet translated into consistently strong academic results, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be needed to address the school's challenges and leverage its strengths to improve educational outcomes for its students.
