Summary

Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving 510 students in grades 4-5 in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, which is part of the Dennis-Yarmouth school district. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with only 27.45% of students proficient or better in ELA and 35.08% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 41.53% and 40.74% respectively.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate School ranking in the top 85-156 out of 458 elementary schools statewide for Hispanic students in ELA, but in the bottom 20-30% of schools for Asian, Multi-racial, and White students. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 9.4 to 14.3 over the past few years, the school's academic outcomes have not improved. In fact, its ranking has declined from the 545th out of 932 schools in 2015-2016 to the 598th out of 906 schools in 2024-2025, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the Dennis-Yarmouth district also perform poorly on MCAS assessments, with proficiency rates below the state average. However, some nearby schools in the Barnstable district, such as Centerville Elementary and West Barnstable Elementary, have significantly higher proficiency rates, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level management may be at play.
