Summary:
ZIP code 02645 contains one elementary school in this data set: Harwich Elementary School, a PK–4 school in Harwich, MA serving 449 students as part of the Monomoy Regional School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, the useful comparisons are between the school and its district and state benchmarks, and across subjects and grade levels within the school itself.
Mathematics is the clear bright spot. In 2025–2026, 51.61% of students scored proficient in Mathematics across all grades, above the district's 46.16% and well above the state's 41.11%. Grade 4 Mathematics was especially strong at 59.49% proficient, more than 16 percentage points above the state, and Grade 3 Mathematics was also above both benchmarks. English Language Arts is the opposite story. All-grades ELA proficiency fell from 45.03% in 2024–2025 to 38.06% in 2025–2026, a drop of nearly 7 points, while the district and state declined far less; in 2025–2026 the school landed below both. Grade 4 ELA was the weakest reported area at 33.33%, below district and state, while Grade 3 ELA sat essentially at the state level. As a result, the gap between math and ELA widened from about 5 points to about 13.5 points in a single year, with Grade 4 showing the sharpest split between subjects.
On overall ranking, the school has held 3 stars for three years, with percentile ranks of 55, 60, and 55 across 2023–2024 through 2025–2026 — stable, mid-pack performance. Its reported student-teacher ratio of 9.8 suggests relatively small classes or strong staffing, and per-student spending was $21,353 in 2020–2021, though that figure is older than the test data. The free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, which limits context. In short: a steady, mid-pack 3-star school with a genuine mathematics advantage over district and state and a recent, notable ELA decline.
