Summary

Dighton Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 468 students in Dighton, a small town in southeastern Massachusetts, and is part of the Dighton-Rehoboth district. In 2025–2026 it ranks 390th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 57th percentile with 3 stars — up from 514th of 906 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) the year before. Its current MCAS results beat both district and state averages: 42.04% proficient in ELA (district 35.96%, state 40.03%) and 48.75% in math (district 38.46%, state 41.11%). Math is the clearer strength, 7.64 points above the state, while ELA's edge is a more modest 2.01 points.

Among nearby schools, Dighton outperforms its same-district neighbor Palmer River by 18 percentile points and beats every listed Taunton elementary school in both subjects — Taunton's best math result, at East Taunton Elementary, is 39.29%. Dighton ranks close to Berkley Community School, which has slightly higher ELA and slightly lower math. North Elementary in Somerset is the strongest local benchmark at the 65th percentile, with higher ELA (45.77%) and math (52.24%) and a lower student-teacher ratio.

Grade-level results split: 3rd-grade ELA is strong at 48.05%, above district, state and nearby peers, but 4th-grade ELA is 36.25%, just below the state's 37.43% and well behind Berkley and North — the clearest instructional target. Math is strong in both grades, especially 4th (52.50% vs the state's 43.20%). Math rose 11.45 points in one year, from 37.30% to 48.75%. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: special education students fell from the 90th percentile in 2023–2024 to 43rd, and low-income students swung from 77th to 18th to 39th. Dighton spends $16,701 per student (2020–21), and its student-teacher ratio rose from 11.7 to 13.6 — worth watching. Recent free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, so socioeconomic composition can't be gauged from it.
