Wellfleet

Schools in Wellfleet include one school total: Wellfleet Elementary, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 78 students in Wellfleet, MA. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this list, and the school is the only school in the Wellfleet district. Because there is only one school, the most useful comparisons are to Massachusetts statewide results and to the school’s own prior years.

In 2025–2026, Wellfleet Elementary’s all-grade ELA proficiency was 52.83%, compared with 40.03% statewide, and science was 52.63%, compared with 40.98% statewide. Math was much closer to the state average: 42.31% versus 41.11%. Grade-level results show 5th grade as a clear bright spot, with ELA, math, and science all at 52.63%, each above the state. The clearest weak point is 4th grade math, at 30% proficient versus 43.20% statewide. Year over year, math rose from 35.19% to 42.31%, moving from below to slightly above the state average, while ELA and science declined slightly but remained well above the state. The school ranks 321st of 899 schools in 2025–2026, in the 64th percentile with 3 stars, up from 376th of 906 in 2024–2025 but below its 2023–2024 result of 211th of 916 and 77th percentile with 4 stars. The district ranks 130th of 351 districts, also 3 stars and the 63rd percentile.

The school has a student-teacher ratio of 6.5 and per-student spending of $35,597 in 2020–2021, suggesting substantial resources per child. However, the free/reduced lunch rate for 2024–2025 is not provided, so socioeconomic context is unknown. With only 78 students, grade-level cohorts are very small, meaning a few students can shift percentages sharply; year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Overall, Wellfleet Elementary is a small, relatively well-resourced elementary school with strong ELA and science results, math near the state average, a notable 5th grade cohort, and 4th grade math as its main academic concern.
