Summary:
Sharon, Massachusetts has five public schools — three elementary schools serving grades K–5, one middle school for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12 — with 3,412 students enrolled and no alternative school listed. The Sharon district is one of the strongest in the state, ranking 18th of 351 districts (95th percentile) with 5 stars, and every school posts proficiency results well above state averages.
For elementary families, Heights Elementary is the standout: 38th of 899 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (96th percentile, 5 stars), with the highest elementary math proficiency at 77.86% and the single highest score in this data set, 4th grade math at 81.82%. East Elementary has climbed each year — 74th, then 64th, then 51st of 899 (94th percentile, 5 stars) — and narrowly leads elementary ELA at 67.52%. Cottage Street is the only 4-star school (89th percentile), with the district's top science proficiency at 75.32%, but the lowest elementary ELA (62.34%) and math (67.97%). Sharon Middle is steady near the 90th–91st percentile, strong in 8th grade ELA (72.16%) and civics (71.65%). Sharon High combines a 96.3% graduation rate and 1.1% dropout rate with high scores in ELA, math, science, and Physics.
Resources are unusually even: per-student spending spans only about $389, from $17,873 at Heights to $18,262 at Sharon Middle, while student/teacher ratios run 16.0–16.6 in elementary schools versus 10.5 and 11.9 at the secondary schools. Heights has the highest elementary ratio yet the strongest math results, so spending and staffing alone do not explain the differences. Two caveats: free/reduced lunch percentages are blank for every school, and spending figures are dated to 2020–2021.
