Summary:
Sullivan has one listed middle school, Sullivan Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 266 students. With no other Sullivan-area middle schools in the data, families cannot compare schools locally; the clearest benchmark is the state. Most importantly, the school’s 2025–2026 ELA result was above the state average, while its mathematics and eighth-grade science results were below it.
As the only school listed, Sullivan Middle School is technically both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in the group, but that does not show how it compares with nearby schools. Its strongest relative result was all-grades ELA: 60%, compared with 56% statewide, a 4-point advantage. Mathematics was 35%, versus 40% statewide, a 5-point shortfall; eighth-grade science was 46%, versus 52%, a 6-point shortfall. Results differed by grade: ELA was 53% in grade 7, 5 points below the state, but 69% in grade 8, 6 points above. Mathematics was below the state in all three grades. Chronic absenteeism was 14%, below the state’s 24% but above the district’s 12%.
Scores rose between the two reported years, but the change relative to the state varied. ELA increased from 59% to 60%, while its state advantage narrowed from 6 points to 4; mathematics rose from 34% to 35%, with its state shortfall essentially unchanged at about 5 points. Eighth-grade science climbed from 37% to 46%, narrowing its deficit from 9 points to 6. Separately, SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile declined from the 66th in 2023–2024 to the 44th in 2025–2026, even as the reported all-grades ELA and math results edged up. Context for families: the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 16.3, spending was $8,375 per student, and 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. These figures describe the school but do not establish what drives its results.
