Summary:
The city of South Yarmouth, Massachusetts is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this Dennis-Yarmouth school district serve students from diverse backgrounds, with a majority of white students and significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students.
Among the standout schools in the district, Station Avenue Elementary stands out with the highest MCAS proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, despite maintaining a high graduation rate and low dropout rate.

While the elementary school excels, the middle and high schools struggle to meet proficiency standards, suggesting the district may need to focus on improving outcomes at the secondary level to better prepare students for college and career.
