Summary:
Truro Central is the only public school in the Truro district, serving grades PK–6 at 317 Route 6 in Truro, MA. With 78 students and no middle or high school in the area, Truro Central is the entire district in this data, so school-level and district-level scores are identical. Families here should expect a very small elementary setting; older students would attend school outside the district.
The school's profile is unusual: a student-teacher ratio of just 5.4 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $43,114 in 2020–2021, reflecting the fixed costs of running a very small school. Results have swung noticeably. In 2024–2025, Truro Central outperformed the state in ELA (48.28% proficient vs. 41.53%), Mathematics (56.67% vs. 40.74%), and especially Science (70% vs. 41.51% — a gap of nearly 28.5 percentage points). It also rose to 248th out of 906 schools, or the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, up from 539th of 916 (41st percentile, 2 stars) the prior year and 420th of 928 (55th percentile, 3 stars) two years before. In 2025–2026, however, All Grades ELA fell to 28% (state 40.03%) and Mathematics to 32% (state 41.11%); 4th Grade ELA was close to the state at 36.36% vs. 37.43%, while 4th Grade Mathematics was 27.27% vs. 43.2%.
A key caveat for parents: with only 78 students, a single student can shift a grade-level percentage by roughly 9 percentage points, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Free/reduced lunch data is not available, and spending figures come from 2020–2021, older than most other metrics.
