Summary:
In Sutton, Massachusetts, there is one public high school: Sutton High School, serving grades 9–12 at 409 Boston Road. It enrolls 367 students and belongs to the Sutton district, which is ranked 143 out of 351 districts in the state, placing it in the 59th percentile with 3 stars. The school itself has a strong recent history: it earned 4 stars in each of the last three years, with percentile ranks of 84 (2023–2024), 81 (2024–2025), and 76 (2025–2026), keeping it in the top quartile of ranked schools.
Sutton High School outperforms the state on every reported MCAS Next Generation assessment. In 2024–2025, 10th-grade proficiency was 67.5% in ELA (state 50.66%), 64.56% in Math (state 44.6%), and 66.67% in Science (state 45.89%). In 2025–2026, proficiency remained above state in ELA (58.43% vs. 45.48%), Math (59.55% vs. 43.73%), Science (47.06% vs. 40.5%), and Physics End of Course (63.49% vs. 46.58%). The school’s graduation rate is 95.0%, slightly above the district’s 94.2%, and the dropout rate is 2.0%, close to the district’s 1.9%. The student-teacher ratio is 12.5, and per-student spending was $16,405 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data for 2024–2025 is not reported.
One concern is that 10th-grade MCAS scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA dropped 9.07 points, Math dropped 5.01 points, and Science dropped 19.61 points. Even so, all remain above state averages. The school’s rank percentile also slipped from 84 to 76, though it still holds 4 stars. Overall, Sutton High School is a strong, top-quartile school with solid graduation outcomes and above-state test performance, but parents should watch the recent downward trend in test scores and relative rank.
