Summary

Bourne Intermediate School is a grades 3–5 school in Bourne, MA, on Cape Cod, serving 359 students as part of the Bourne district. Its 2025–2026 rank is 684th of 899 Massachusetts schools — the 24th percentile, with 1 star — down from the 45th percentile in 2020–2021, its best recent year; the district itself ranks 238th of 351. The school has generally drifted downward since 2020–2021, when it last earned 2 stars.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, the school scored 29.26% proficient in English language arts, 24.43% in math, and 27.93% in science — all below both the district (32.57%, 27.26%, 31.37%) and the state (40.03%, 41.11%, 40.98%). The math gap to the state is about 16.7 points. Math proficiency fell from 34.63% in 2023–2024 to 24.43%, and science fell from 44.64% to 27.93% over the same period; ELA has stayed fairly stable but below the state. Grade-level results vary: third-grade ELA (38.33%) and fourth-grade math (33.06%) are the school's relative strengths, while fifth grade is a major weak point — 17.12% proficient in math and 27.93% in science, versus 39.50% and 43.07% statewide.

The school has a 10.2 student/teacher ratio, the lowest among nearby schools, and 2020–2021 per-student spending of $21,235, slightly above the nearby median — advantages that are not showing up in proficiency results. Most nearby schools outperform it: Oak Ridge (74th percentile), North Falmouth Elementary (71st), Sippican (53rd), South Elementary (48th), Indian Brook (46th), and Quashnet Intermediate School (43rd). Wareham Elementary School posts similar ELA results (29.77%) but higher math (34.90%). Subgroup effectiveness varies widely: the school ranks in the top 7% statewide for Hispanic students, near the middle for special education students (43rd percentile), and low-income student effectiveness fell from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 32nd. Free/reduced-lunch data and more current spending figures were not available.
