Summary:

ZIP code 02747 in North Dartmouth is served by three public schools, all part of the Dartmouth district: one middle school, Dartmouth Middle (grades 6–8), and two elementary schools, James M. Quinn School (K–5) and George H Potter (PK–5). There are no high schools in this ZIP, and total enrollment across the three schools is 1,911 students.

Dartmouth Middle is the clear academic standout with 4 stars and a 2025–26 rank of 122 of 478 (74th percentile). Its all-grade proficiency is 50 in ELA, 56.56 in Math, 42.05 in Science, and 40 in 8th-grade Civics — above district and state in ELA and Math especially, where math runs 15.45 points above the state. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.4) and the highest 2020–21 per-student spending ($15,877).

The two elementary schools have diverged. James M. Quinn School dropped from 3 stars to 2, falling from the 65th to the 45th percentile over two years, with 2025–26 proficiency of 37.7 in ELA and 36.99 in Math — the lowest in the ZIP, and 3rd-grade math at just 20.8. George H Potter held 3 stars (53rd percentile), with ELA 44.72 and Math 42, and notable strengths in 3rd-grade math (47.46) and 4th-grade ELA (46.38), but weak 5th-grade math (29.58). Both elementaries declined from 2024–25, and Quinn’s 3-star-to-2-star slide is the trend to watch.
