Its latest school rank is 454 of 899, or 49th percentile, with 2 stars, up from 42nd percentile in 2024–2025 but slightly below 52nd percentile in 2023–2024.

Academically, the school’s clearest strengths are mathematics and science. In 2025–2026, all-grade Mathematics was 47.87% proficient versus 41.11% statewide (+6.76 points), and Science was 50.91% versus 40.98% (+9.93). Eighth grade was the standout: it was above state in ELA, Mathematics, Science, and Civics, with 8th-grade math at 66.67% (+25.00 points) and science at 57.14% (+18.21). Third grade also shone, with ELA at 55.26% (+12.47) and math at 59.46% (+17.27). The school improved sharply from 2024–2025 in math (+12.34 points), science (+14.97), and 8th-grade civics (+13.45).

ELA remains the main challenge, especially in grades 5–7: 5th grade ELA was 25.00% (−13.15 points vs. state), 6th was 30.00% (−10.26), and 7th was 30.77% (−9.14). Math was also uneven, with 4th and 5th grade below state. Overall, Tisbury Elementary is a mixed-performing PK–8 school with strong recent gains in math and science, a bright 8th grade, and a middle-of-the-pack rank; the low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending are notable, though missing lunch data and small grade cohorts limit a fuller picture.
