Summary:
Sutton, Massachusetts is home to a single public middle school: Sutton Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 with 313 students at 383 Boston Road and belongs to the Sutton district. Because there is only one middle school in the city, there are no local peers to compare against; the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state of Massachusetts, and the school's own prior years.
Sutton Middle School ranks in the top third of Massachusetts middle schools. Its 2025–2026 rank is 154 of 478 (68th percentile, 3 stars), up from the 62nd percentile in 2024–2025 and the 65th percentile in 2023–2024. The Sutton district as a whole ranks 143 of 351 (59th percentile, 3 stars). The school's clearest strengths are math, science, and civics. In 2025–2026, 8th grade civics reached 56.7% proficient versus 39.8% statewide, 8th grade math 57.7% versus 41.7%, 6th grade math 56.4% versus 42.6%, and 8th grade science 48.5% versus 38.9%. All-grade math (47.5% vs. 41.1%) and all-grade science (48.5% vs. 41.0%) also beat the state. Gains from 2024–2025 were broad: all-grade math rose 6.8 points, all-grade science 6.2 points, and 8th grade civics 9.0 points.
Seventh grade is the exception. Math proficiency there is 31.3% versus 37.5% statewide, and ELA 37.7% versus 39.9% — well below the school's own 6th grade math (56.4%) and 8th grade math (57.7%). All-grade ELA is only about 1 point above the state. Note that the 7th grade results match the district exactly, that free/reduced lunch data is not reported, that spending figures come from 2020–2021, and that scores measure proficiency rather than student growth.
