Summary:
ZIP code 02537 in East Sandwich is served by two schools, both part of the Sandwich district: Sandwich Middle High School, which serves grades 7–12 with 888 students, and Oak Ridge, which serves grades 3–6 with 673 students. Together they enroll 1,561 students. There is no standalone middle school, because grades 7 and 8 are housed inside the high school building, and no K–2 school appears in this list. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not available for either school, so student-need context is limited here.
Academically, both schools perform above the state in every reported MCAS Next Generation subject and grade. Oak Ridge is the science standout, with All Grades Science at 69.01% proficient — 28.03 points above state and 6.87 points above the district. Its 6th Grade Mathematics (67.10%) and 5th Grade Mathematics (59.88%) are also notably strong. Sandwich Middle High School shines at 10th Grade English Language Arts, at 66.41% proficient, which is 20.93 points above state, and its graduation rate is 91.2% versus 89.4% for the district.
Two relative cautions stand out. Sandwich Middle High School’s science scores are solidly above state but below district (57.23 versus 62.14 in 2025–2026), though the school gained 8.07 points in science and 5.63 points in math year over year. At Oak Ridge, 4th Grade Mathematics is the only reported result below its district comparison and the narrowest margin over state, at just 0.51 points; the school’s ELA and math dipped slightly year over year while science rose. Oak Ridge has held 4 stars and roughly the 74th percentile in rankings, while the high school rebounded to 4 stars and the 80th percentile after a dip.
