Summary:
ZIP code 02539 contains a single public school — Edgartown Elementary, a PK–8 school with 357 students in the Edgartown district — so families in this area have one local option serving both elementary and middle grades. The data available in this extract covers MCAS Next Generation test scores for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, rank history from 2023–2024 through 2025–2026, per-student spending for 2020–2021, and a student-teacher ratio for 2024–2025. Because Edgartown functions as a single-school district here, district and school test scores are identical, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so it is unavailable rather than zero.
Academically, the school's clearest strengths are in Science, Civics, upper-grade ELA, and 8th grade. In 2025–2026, all-grades Science was 51.19% proficient versus 40.98% statewide (+10.21 points), after 58.23% versus 41.51% in 2024–2025 (+16.72). Eighth grade was above the state in every tested subject: ELA 52.78% vs. 41.70%, Math 52.78% vs. 41.67%, Science 50.00% vs. 38.93%, and Civics 55.56% vs. 39.77%. ELA overall edged the state, 42.04% vs. 40.03%. Civics rose from 43.90% to 55.56% year over year.
Mathematics is the main concern. All-grades Math was 30.53% proficient versus 41.11% statewide (-10.58 points), down from 38.11% the prior year. Grade 3 Math (18.75% vs. 42.19%) and Grade 5 Math (16.33% vs. 39.50%) each trail the state by more than 23 points, and Grade 6 Math (30.56% vs. 42.59%) is also well below. Grade 5 ELA (30.61% vs. 38.15%) and Grade 3 ELA (38.71% vs. 42.79%) lag as well. The school ranks 542 of 899 (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, holding a modest improvement from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024, and its district rank is 196 of 351, also 2 stars. The student-teacher ratio is low at 7.3, and per-student spending was $28,252 in 2020–2021, though no state spending benchmark is provided.
