Summary

Wampatuck Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 424 students in the coastal town of Scituate, Massachusetts, and is part of the Scituate Public Schools district.

For 2025–2026, Wampatuck ranks 160th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 82nd percentile, with 4 stars. Math is the school's clearest strength: 66.85% of students scored proficient, above the Scituate district (60.84) and far above the state (41.11), and the highest of any Scituate elementary. ELA is solid at 59.67%, also above district and state. Science is the weak spot at 49.12%, more than 11 points below the district and the lowest among Scituate elementaries. The gap is concentrated in 5th grade, where ELA proficiency is 41.38% versus 56.22% district-wide, while 3rd and 4th grade results are strong.

Compared with nearby towns, Wampatuck's math is competitive with top-performing schools such as East Elementary School and South Elementary in Hingham and Deer Hill in Cohasset, but its science trails nearly all of them. Within Scituate, it posts the highest math but the lowest science of the four elementaries, behind Jenkins Elementary School and Hatherly Elementary and closer to Cushing Elementary. Historically, Wampatuck was a top-25 statewide school (10th of 936 in 2020–21) before falling to 196th in 2023–24; it has since stabilized in the low-80s percentile. Special education effectiveness has climbed to the 93rd percentile (5 stars). Per-student spending of $14,863 in 2020–21 was the lowest among Scituate elementaries.

The education my kids receive at Wampatuck is excellent. We have been extremely happy with the teachers every year. The standards are high but the teachers give the kids every opportunity to achieve. Love the school garden for educational and nutritional benefit to the students. My kids really like the mini-miles program in walktober! We as parents are focusing on influencing the school to focus on better nutrition for school lunches and the reception has been great. Close Quote
