Provincetown Schools' statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 580 out of 906 elementary schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars) to 740 out of 916 elementary schools in 2023-2024 (1 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's proficiency rate in Science for all grades in 2024-2025 was 60%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 41.51%. The school's student-teacher ratio is 7.2, which is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $44,861, which is higher than the state average.
The fluctuating statewide ranking and performance on the MCAS assessments suggest that Provincetown Schools may be facing some challenges in consistently delivering high-quality education across all subject areas. The school's relatively low proficiency rates in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages, could indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes in these core academic areas. However, the school's strong performance in Science could be an area of strength that the school could leverage to improve overall academic outcomes.
