Summary

Eames Way School is a K–5 elementary school at 165 Eames Way in Marshfield, MA, serving 249 students—the smallest elementary enrollment in the district—in a South Shore community. In 2025–2026 it ranked 142nd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (84th percentile, 4 stars), roughly the top sixth statewide. Its results outpace both district and state: math proficiency is 71.03% versus 54.85% in Marshfield and 41.11% statewide; ELA is 60.95% versus 45.63% and 40.03%; science is 55.56% versus 46.00% and 40.98%. The Marshfield district itself ranks 104th of 351 districts (70th percentile), so the school is a clear internal over-performer.

Compared with nearby schools, Eames Way School leads all Marshfield elementaries in ELA (60.95) and math (71.03). The next-closest Marshfield school, Gov Edward Winslow, posts 52.87 ELA and 58.96 math; against the largest district elementary, Martinson Elementary, its math advantage is 24.4 points and ELA advantage is 25.8 points. It also holds the strongest state rank among Marshfield elementaries. Against schools in higher-ranked neighboring districts—Norwell, Scituate, and Hanover—it still posts the highest math score of the ten schools compared. Its ELA trails William G Vinal by just 0.1 point, and only Jenkins Elementary School edges it on school rank (138 vs. 142). Science is softer: 55.56%, with five comparison schools higher, so its regional science edge largely disappears.

Parents should note two watch items. First, 5th grade math is the only 2025–2026 metric where Eames Way School falls below its district average: 47.22% versus 50.0% in Marshfield, while 3rd grade math (82.86%) and 4th grade math (83.33%) are near double the state rate. In 5th grade ELA, however, the school ranks first in its district at 52.78%. Second, the school has eased from the 89th percentile in 2023–24 to 86th and then 84th, though it remains in the top 16% of the state. Resources are strong—249 students, the district’s lowest student–teacher ratio (11.6), and the highest Marshfield elementary per-student spending ($17,499)—but nearby schools achieve comparable results for less, suggesting instruction, culture, and small size matter more than budget alone.
