Summary:
Zip code 02657 contains just one public school, Provincetown Schools, a PK–8 elementary school with 152 students in the Provincetown district on the tip of Cape Cod. Because the district has only this one school, school and district results are identical for every MCAS Next Generation subject in this extract. The district ranks 307 of 351 in Massachusetts (13th percentile, 1 star), and the school ranked 790 of 899 in 2025–2026 (12th percentile, 1 star) — down sharply from 580 of 906 (36th percentile, 2 stars) the year before, and 740 of 916 (19th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024.
Science is the clear standout: 50% proficient in 2025–2026 versus 40.98% statewide, and 60% in 2024–2025 versus 41.51%. It is the only subject above state in both years, though the margin narrowed and the single itemized science grade — 8th grade at 35.29% vs 38.93% state — sits slightly below state. Math is the biggest weakness: all-grade math was 20.83% vs 41.11% state in 2025–2026, and 3rd grade math was 9.09% vs 42.19%, the lowest figure reported. ELA falls below state in every reported grade, with gaps ranging from −6.41 pp in 8th grade to −24.61 pp in 3rd. Eighth grade is the relative bright spot, posting 35.29% in ELA, science, and civics with gaps under 7 pp, though 8th-grade math remains weak at 17.65% vs 41.67%.
Operationally, classes are small — the student-to-teacher ratio is 7.6 in 2024–2025 — and per-student spending was $44,861 in 2020–2021, both notable figures alongside low proficiency and rank. With only 152 students, grade-level percentages can swing on a handful of students, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Free/reduced lunch is not reported in this data and should be treated as unknown, not 0%. Grade coverage is also incomplete: ELA and math appear only for grades 3, 4, 7, and 8, while science and civics appear only for 8th grade.
