Summary:
The zip code 02664 contains a single middle school, Dennis-Yarmouth Middle School, which serves grades 6-7 with a total enrollment of 445 students. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 253 out of 484 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 326 out of 493 in 2023-2024, indicating a decline in performance relative to other schools in the state. The uneven performance across grade levels is particularly notable, with 6th grade students performing closer to the state average, while 7th grade students lag significantly behind their peers statewide in both ELA and Math.
To address these challenges, the Dennis-Yarmouth school district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to help students improve their academic achievement. Analyzing the root causes of the lower performance and implementing evidence-based strategies could be crucial steps in improving the school's overall outcomes.
