Summary

Barnstable Intermediate School in Hyannis, MA, serves grades 5–7 and enrolls 642 students, making it the largest school in its nearby Cape Cod comparison group. Its latest state rank is 359th of 478 (25th percentile, 1 star) for 2025–2026, continuing a long decline from 215th of 482 (55th percentile, 3 stars) in 2015–2016. It has stayed in the bottom quartile recently, with no rank above the 35th percentile since 2020–2021.

MCAS proficiency is low and below the Barnstable district and the state. In 2025–2026, all-grade ELA was 24.1% and math was 24.01%, compared with district rates of 26.93% and 26.56% and state rates of 40.03% and 41.11%. Among nearby schools with reported data, Barnstable was lowest in both ELA and math. The nearby average was roughly 41.6% in ELA and 38.2% in math, and even the lowest nearby scores—Dennis-Yarmouth Middle School’s 32.52% ELA and 30.65% math—were higher. Grade 6 ELA and math and grade 7 ELA were also lowest nearby. Grade 7 math was the one modest exception: 25.17% beat Bourne Middle School and Dennis-Yarmouth Middle School, though it remained well below the state’s 37.48%.

Subgroup effectiveness is broadly low. Every reported 2025–2026 subgroup was 1 star, with English Language Learner students at the 27th percentile, Special Education students at the 19th, and Low Socio Economic Status students at the 27th. English Language Learner students had been a relative bright spot at 3 stars in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 before falling to 1 star. Staffing is mid-pack: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.1. However, per-student spending was $18,730 in 2020–2021, the lowest among nearby schools with reported spending—at least $1,236 less than the next-lowest and $4,307 less than Nauset Regional Middle. The data do not establish causation, but the outcome gap is substantial across most metrics, and science and civics comparisons were not available for Barnstable in this dataset.
