Edgartown Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's highest proficiency rates are in 5th grade Science (48.72%) and 4th grade Mathematics (37.21%), but these are still lower than the state averages. The school's lowest proficiency rates are in 3rd grade Mathematics (14.89%) and 7th grade English Language Arts (19.51%). Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $28,252 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1, the school's academic outcomes suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support for struggling students.
The student population at Edgartown Elementary is relatively diverse, with 63.12% white, 4.7% African American, 24.75% Hispanic, 0.25% Asian, 2.72% Native American, and 4.46% two or more races. This diversity could present both challenges and opportunities for the school in terms of meeting the needs of its diverse learner population. The school's low district ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate that there may be broader systemic issues within the Edgartown school district that need to be addressed.
