Summary

East Falmouth Elementary is a PK–4 school with about 303 students in the Falmouth district on Cape Cod, one of four district elementary schools with state ranking data.

In 2025–2026, the school ranked 593rd of 899 Massachusetts schools — 34th percentile, 2 stars — down from 476th of 906 (47th percentile) in 2024–2025. On that year's MCAS, ELA proficiency was 32.39% (vs 39.35% district, 40.03% state) and math was 34.72% (vs 41.72% district, 41.11% state). Among its Falmouth peers, it trailed North Falmouth Elementary (71st percentile, 4 stars, 48.97% ELA / 57.53% math), Teaticket (49th percentile) and Mullen-Hall (45th percentile), though it beat Barnstable United Elementary School. The North Falmouth comparison stands out: same enrollment, same district, similar spending ($22,550 vs $22,904) and staffing — yet much higher results.

The good news is that 2024–2025 showed what the school can do: 42.47% ELA and 41.10% math, close to the district and slightly above the state, so the 2025–2026 decline looks like a reversal rather than a permanent ceiling. Fourth-grade math (40.91%) is a bright spot, slightly above the district. The clearest weakness is third-grade math at 25%, far below the district's 48.85% and North Falmouth's 68.42%. Staffing is a relative strength — a 9.8 student-teacher ratio, better than most nearby schools. One pattern to watch: boys have ranked in the 22nd, 29th and 24th percentiles over the past three years, while girls ranked notably higher. Low-income students reached the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025 but fell to 31st in 2025–2026, so subgroup results have been uneven.
