Summary:
The city of Edgartown, Massachusetts has only one school serving grades PK-8, Edgartown Elementary, with a total enrollment of 404 students. While the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, the school's demographic composition is relatively diverse, with a significant Hispanic and African American representation.
Edgartown Elementary is ranked 598 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 547 out of 932 schools in 2021-2022 to 608 out of 928 schools in 2022-2023. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $28,252 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, the school's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with these resources, suggesting the need to examine how these resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning.
Overall, the analysis of Edgartown's sole school highlights areas for improvement in academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, as well as the need to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. The school's fluctuating ranking and the apparent disconnect between its resources and academic outcomes warrant further investigation to identify the underlying factors and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
