Summary:
ZIP code 02642 covers Eastham on Cape Cod, and it contains just one public elementary school — Eastham Elementary, a K–5 school with 177 students in the Eastham district — so there are no other schools within the ZIP to compare it against; the meaningful benchmarks are Massachusetts averages and the school's own prior years.
The standout result is science: 80.77% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, nearly double the state's 40.98% all-grades rate and well above the 43.07% state figure for 5th-grade science. Fifth grade is strong across the board, with 64.00% proficient in English language arts (state: 38.15%) and 65.38% in math (state: 39.50%). Results are more mixed in the lower grades. Third-grade ELA is the only below-state result at 39.29% versus 42.79% statewide, and 3rd- and 4th-grade math sit only slightly above state at 42.86% vs 42.19% and 43.59% vs 43.20%. Overall, the school ranks 114 of 351 — the 68th percentile, three stars — after four stars and percentiles of 73 and 78 in the two prior years.
Aggregate scores moved in different directions. ELA fell from 58.70% to 49.46% and math from 57.45% to 49.46%, while science climbed from 64.29% to 80.77%. The school still outperforms the state in ELA (+9.43 points) and math (+8.35 points), but by a narrower margin than the year before. Resource indicators look favorable: a student-teacher ratio of 7.9 and per-student spending of $26,632, though that spending figure is from 2020–2021 and free/reduced lunch data is unknown. With roughly 30 students per grade, year-to-year swings should be read cautiously.
