Summary

Eastham Elementary is a K–5 school at 200 Schoolhouse Road in Eastham, Massachusetts, a Cape Cod town, serving 177 students. It is the only school in the Eastham district, so school and district figures are identical. In 2025–2026 it ranked 285th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (68th percentile, 3 stars), while the district ranked 114th of 351 (68th percentile, 3 stars). Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 7.9:1, and per-student spending was $26,632 (2020–2021).

Academically, the school is above state in all three subjects in 2025–2026: ELA 49.46% vs. 40.03%, math 49.46% vs. 41.11%, and science 80.77% vs. 40.98%. Science is the standout—far ahead of Orleans Elementary (64%), Eddy Elementary (58.18%), Wellfleet Elementary (52.63%), and Dennis-Yarmouth Intermediate School (30.94%). Fifth grade is especially strong (ELA 64%, math 65.38%, science 80.77%), while third grade ELA is 39.29% vs. 42.79% state. The overall rank softened from 78th percentile in 2024–2025 to 68th in 2025–2026; ELA fell from 58.7% to 49.46% and math from 57.45% to 49.46%, though both remain above state, while science rose from 64.29% to 80.77%. With only 177 students, single-grade results can swing by one or two students, so multi-year trends are more reliable.

Among nearby schools, the small outer-Cape districts generally outperform the schools in the Dennis-Yarmouth district, which ranked 268th of 351 (24th percentile, 1 star). Orleans Elementary is the closest peer—4.29 miles away, 149 students, a 7.2:1 ratio, and the same K–5 configuration. In 2024–2025 Orleans Elementary outperformed the school in all three subjects; in 2025–2026 they converged, with the school's science exceeding Orleans Elementary's. The school's low-income students ranked 85th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026 and 97th and 95th percentiles (5 stars) in the two prior years. Female students rank 84th percentile and male students 62nd, a persistent gap. Special-education students ranked 79th percentile in 2021–2022 and 2020–2021, though that data ends there; free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank. Bottom line: the school is small, well-resourced, and above state in all subjects, with science strongest in its group and fifth grade among the region's best; watch the ELA/math moderation, rank dip, and third-grade ELA and male/female gaps.
