Summary:
Sturbridge, Massachusetts is home to two schools, both classified as elementary in this data: Burgess Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 842 students, and Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School, serving grades K–8 with 356 students. Together they enroll 1,198 students. Burgess, part of the Sturbridge district, accounts for about 70% of that enrollment, while Old Sturbridge Academy, which operates as its own Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School (District), accounts for about 30%. The area summary lists 2 elementary, 0 middle, 0 high, and 0 alternative schools, so no high school appears in this list.
Burgess Elementary is the standout. It ranks in the 73rd percentile of Massachusetts districts and the 72nd percentile of schools in 2025–2026, earning 4 stars, and its rank has improved each of the last three years (60th to 65th to 72nd percentile). Its all-grade MCAS proficiency beats the state in every core subject: ELA 48.6% vs 40.03%, math 55.05% vs 41.11%, and science 60.75% vs 40.98%. Science is its strongest area, up nearly 6 points from the prior year. It also reports a student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and $17,075 in per-student spending for 2020–2021.
Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School sits at the other end. It ranks in the 9th percentile of districts (0 stars) and the 19th percentile of schools (1 star), and its rank has slipped each year, from the 32nd to the 19th percentile. All three all-grade MCAS subjects fall below state — ELA 25.76%, math 21.05%, science 27.94% — and 8th-grade civics dropped from 34.38% to 16.67%. Some grade-level gaps are large: 8th-grade ELA and math are both 16.67% vs about 41.7% statewide. Its clearest bright spot is 7th-grade ELA, at 40% vs the state's 39.91%. Two cautions: the schools serve different grade spans, so "all grades" figures cover different grades, and free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so economic comparisons cannot be made.
