Summary:
ZIP code 02537 has one elementary school, Oak Ridge, serving grades 3–6 in East Sandwich, MA as part of the Sandwich district. With 673 students and a student–teacher ratio of 11.8 in 2024–25, it is the only elementary school in this ZIP, so the most useful comparisons are to its own district, to Massachusetts, and to its prior years. Per-student spending was $20,986 in 2020–21, but that figure is older than the test and ranking years. Free/reduced-lunch information was not reported for 2024–25, so economic context is unknown and should not be read as zero.
Oak Ridge stands out as a 4-star, top-quartile school for three straight years: rank 234 of 899 (74th percentile) in 2025–26, 239 of 906 (74th) in 2024–25, and 205 of 916 (78th) in 2023–24. Its clearest strength is Science. In 2025–26, 69.01% of all tested grades were proficient in Science, compared with 62.14% in the district and 40.98% statewide—+28.03 points above state and +6.87 above district. Math was 54.30% versus 54.27% district and 41.11% state, and ELA was 51.95% versus 51.58% district and 40.03% state. Grade-level highlights include 6th-grade Math at 67.10% (+24.51 above state), 5th-grade Math at 59.88% (+20.38), and 5th-grade Science at 69.01% (+25.94).
From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Oak Ridge’s overall ELA slipped 1.90 points and Math slipped 1.98 points, but both remained well above state and near district. Math varied most by grade: 4th-grade Math was 43.71%, only +0.51 above state and 1.10 below district, while 5th- and 6th-grade Math were very strong. ELA was consistent across grades 3–6, ranging from 49.01% in 4th grade to 54.07% in 5th, with every grade above state. The Sandwich district also scores above state in all three subjects, so Oak Ridge’s results reflect both school and district strengths; it most clearly exceeds the district in Science and 6th-grade Math. The main data limitation is the missing free/reduced-lunch percentage, which prevents an equity check.
