Summary

Oak Bluffs Elementary is a PK–8 public school in Oak Bluffs, MA, on Martha's Vineyard, serving 402 students — the largest school in its immediate comparison group of Cape Cod and island schools. It ranks 336th of 899 Massachusetts schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, a clear rise from 507th of 916 (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 and 452nd of 906 in 2024–2025, moving the school from below the state median to comfortably above it. Its district, Oak Bluffs, ranks 117th of 351 districts (67th percentile, 3 stars). Class sizes are small, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.6 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $25,839 in 2020–2021.

Oak Bluffs Elementary scores above the state average in all three tested subjects: English Language Arts 45.75% vs. 40.03%, math 47.79% vs. 41.11%, and science 54.44% vs. 40.98%. Science and civics are signature strengths — 8th grade civics was 58.54% vs. 39.77% statewide. Among nearby schools, Chilmark Elementary scores higher across the board but is much smaller (69 students) and serves only K–5, while North Falmouth Elementary leads in math (57.53%) but serves only K–4. West Tisbury Elementary is a close academic peer, slightly stronger in ELA and math but weaker in science, and Oak Bluffs outperforms Tisbury Elementary and Edgartown Elementary overall.

Subgroup results are a real differentiator: English Language Learner students ranked at the 96th percentile, and Low Socio Economic Status students rose from the 57th percentile in 2023–2024 to 89th in 2025–2026, while Special Education students climbed from 36th to 71st. The main challenge is inconsistency by grade. Fourth, 6th, and 8th grades score well above state averages, but 5th grade ELA (34.69%), 5th grade math (30%), 7th grade ELA (36.36%), and 7th grade math (31.11%) all fall below state, a pattern worth monitoring. Free/reduced lunch data were not available, limiting economic comparisons across schools.
