Summary:
Littleton is a small, high-performing school district in Massachusetts with four schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Shaker Lane Elementary (PK–2), Russell St Elementary (3–5), Littleton Middle School (6–8), and Littleton High School (9–12), with a combined listed enrollment of 1,655 students. The Littleton district ranks 37th of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 89th percentile with 4 stars.
Littleton High School is the standout, ranking 20th of 353 high schools in 2025–2026 at the 94th percentile with 5 stars, up from the 75th percentile two years earlier. It posts a 97.6% graduation rate, a 1.6% dropout rate, and the highest single reported proficiency figure in the data set — 84.35 in high school Science, far above the state's 40.5. Littleton Middle School is consistently strong, ranking between the 87th and 90th percentiles over three years, with ELA proficiency of 69.57% versus 40.03% statewide. Russell St Elementary ranks at the 79th percentile and exceeds state averages in all reported subjects, though its grade-level ELA and math results are closer to district averages. Shaker Lane Elementary serves PK–2, so no test scores or rank history are listed; that absence is expected rather than a weakness.
Every reported 2025–2026 school-level MCAS score in this data set exceeds its state average, with Science a particular district strength. Per-student spending ranges from $14,891 at the middle school to $17,638 at Shaker Lane, and student–teacher ratios are very consistent at 12.9 to 13.2. One notable year-over-year change: 8th Grade Civics fell from 69.81% to 56.69%, still well above the state's 39.77%. Free/reduced lunch data is not available in this extract, so economic context cannot be assessed.
