Summary:
The Tisbury area has one elementary school, Tisbury Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 271 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 3rd grade math and 7th grade ELA, it struggles in several other grade levels and subject areas compared to the state average.
Tisbury Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 345 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 528 out of 906 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science were below the state averages for all grades, with the largest gaps in 5th and 8th grade. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $33,592, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic performance remains below the state average.
While Tisbury Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 6.8 compared to the state average, the school's declining performance and uneven academic achievement across grade levels and subjects suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to enhance student learning and outcomes.
