Summary:
ZIP code 02536 is home to two elementary schools in the Falmouth school district — East Falmouth Elementary, which serves grades PK–4 with 303 students, and Teaticket, which serves grades K–4 with 236 students. Together they enroll 539 children. The district as a whole ranks 186th of 351 Massachusetts districts, placing it near the middle of the state. Note that free/reduced-price lunch percentages are not reported for either school, so that information is unknown rather than an indication of low need.
Teaticket is the stronger performer. In 2025-2026 it scored 41.41% proficient in all-grade ELA and 43.43% in all-grade math, above both the district (39.35% and 41.72%) and the state (40.03% and 41.11%). East Falmouth came in lower on both, at 32.39% in ELA and 34.72% in math — about 9 points behind Teaticket in each subject, and below district and state. The same pattern shows at the grade level: Teaticket reached 50.00% in 4th grade ELA versus East Falmouth's 31.82%, and 45.45% in 3rd grade math versus 25.00%. Teaticket also ranked higher in all three reported years, landing 455th of 899 in 2025-2026 against East Falmouth's 593rd of 899.
Both schools, however, share some weak spots. In 3rd grade ELA, East Falmouth scored 33.33% and Teaticket 34.55%, both below the district and state. In 4th grade math they were identical at 40.91%. Both also declined from the prior year, though East Falmouth's drop was steeper — 10.08 points in ELA and 6.38 points in math, compared with Teaticket's smaller declines. On resources, Teaticket spent more per student in 2020-2021 ($24,482 vs $22,904) and has the lower student-teacher ratio (8.8 vs 9.8), but that spending figure is from an earlier year and shouldn't be read as the cause of the test-score differences. Finally, because these schools are small, grade-level percentages can swing widely from one year to the next.
