Summary

Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate School is a grades 4–5 school in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, serving 491 students in the Dennis-Yarmouth district on Cape Cod, and it is the largest elementary school in the nearby comparison set. For 2025–2026 it ranks 612th of 899 Massachusetts schools (32nd percentile, 2 stars), stronger than its district overall (268th of 351, 24th percentile, 1 star). The school has recovered from a 2022–2023 low of 21st percentile to the low-30s, but remains below its 2015–2016 high of 42nd percentile. Free/reduced-lunch data were unavailable, limiting socioeconomic context.

On 2025–2026 MCAS, the school is slightly above its district in ELA, math, and science in grades 4 and 5, but below the state in every subject. Grade 4 math is closest to state (41.12% vs. 43.20%); ELA (about 26–27% proficient vs. near 40% statewide) and grade 5 science (30.94% vs. 43.07%) are the largest gaps. The clearest benchmark is Eddy Elementary, which serves grades 3–5 and beats D-Y Intermediate by 10–27 points in overlapping grades, including grade 5 science at 58.18%. Harwich Elementary School also scores higher in grade 4 ELA and math, and Station Avenue Elementary, a K–3 school 0.11 miles away, posts grade 3 math at 64.49% and ELA at 42.99%. The school is not the lowest performer nearby — Hyannis West Elementary is much lower — but it trails most surrounding schools.

Results vary widely by student group. English Language Learner students ranked in the 71st–78th percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 but fell to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026, and Special Education students dropped from the 62nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 16th percentile in 2025–2026. Low-income students have held steady around the 44th–50th percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.9, higher than Eddy (8.9) and Harwich (9.8). Per-student spending was $20,613 in 2020–2021, the most recent year available, below Eddy and Harwich but above some neighbors. In short, math is a relative strength, ELA is a persistent weakness, and science is volatile.
