Summary

North Falmouth Elementary is a K–4 school serving 303 students in North Falmouth, a village in the Cape Cod town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, and part of Falmouth Public Schools. For 2025–2026 the school ranks 261st of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 71st percentile, or 4 stars — well above its district's overall standing (186th of 351, 47th percentile, 2 stars). It reached a high point of 92nd percentile and 5 stars in 2020–2021, held in the 84th–85th percentile range through 2023–2024, and has since settled at a still-strong 4 stars.

Academically, the school outperforms both its district and the state in every reported grade and subject. All-grades math proficiency is 57.53%, about 16 points above the state; third-grade math is 68.42%, more than 26 points above the state, while fourth-grade math (50.56%) still beats the state. All-grades ELA is 48.97%, roughly 9 points above the state. Among Falmouth's elementary schools, North Falmouth leads in both ELA and math — ahead of Mullen-Hall, Teaticket, and East Falmouth Elementary by 7.6 to 16.6 points in ELA and 14 to 23 points in math.

Compared with nearby schools outside the district, North Falmouth also posts the highest ELA and math proficiency among those reporting comparable data, leading Sippican (Marion) by 9.8 points in ELA and 13.4 points in math, and ranking above Wareham Elementary School, Quashnet Intermediate School (Mashpee), and Bourne Intermediate School. Notably, it achieves this while spending $22,550 per student (2020–2021) — less than Teaticket ($24,482) and Mullen-Hall ($22,980) — with a student/teacher ratio of 10.5. Two things to watch: ELA proficiency has fallen about 12 points over four years, from 61.02% in 2022–2023, and fourth-grade results trail the school's strong third-grade results, though both still beat district and state averages. Low-income students are served at a high level (86th percentile in 2025–2026).
