Summary:
ZIP code 02718 is served by a single elementary school: East Taunton Elementary, a PK–4 school with 564 students at 58R Stevens Street in East Taunton, part of the Taunton district. Because there are no other elementary schools in this ZIP to compare against, the most useful yardsticks are the district, the state, and the school's own results over time.
East Taunton Elementary is the standout locally, beating its district in every reported MCAS comparison. The Taunton district ranks 291 of 351 with 1 star, while the school's most recent rank is 523 of 899 — a 42nd percentile, 2-star result. That is below the state median but clearly stronger than its district. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency is 36.32 versus the district's 28.51, and all-grades math is 39.29 versus 23.37, a 15.92-point math advantage. Math is the relative bright spot: all-grades math is only 1.82 points below the state's 41.11, and 4th-grade math is 40.83 against the state's 43.20.
Two cautions stand out. ELA weakened sharply, falling from 44.24 in 2024–2025 — when it was 2.71 points above the state — to 36.32 in 2025–2026, or 3.71 points below. The school's state percentile rank has also drifted from 48 to 45 to 42, and it remains below state average in every 2025–2026 metric, with 3rd-grade ELA the weakest relative to state. Context data is limited: the free/reduced lunch field is blank, per-student spending is reported only for 2020–2021 at $15,959, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.5 has no comparison provided here.
