Summary

Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School is a K–8 charter school in Sturbridge, MA, serving 356 students as its own charter district, Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School (District), in a central-Massachusetts area where neighboring towns run smaller elementary districts. Its current statewide rank is 728 of 899 schools — 19th percentile, 1 star — and its district ranks 318 of 351 (9th percentile, 0 stars). In 2025–2026, all-grade MCAS proficiency was below the state in every core subject: 25.76% in English language arts (state 40.03%), 21.05% in math (state 41.11%), and 27.94% in science (state 40.98%). This is not a one-year dip: the school's statewide percentile has slid from 41 in 2021–2022 to 24 in 2024–2025 and 19 in 2025–2026.

Compared with nearby schools, Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School sits near the bottom of the non-Southbridge group but above the Southbridge elementary schools with comparable data — roughly 15 points higher in ELA and 12–14 points higher in math than Charlton Street and West Street. However, Burgess Elementary in Sturbridge, only 0.47 miles away, roughly doubles Old Sturbridge Academy's proficiency in ELA, math, and science. Brimfield Elementary, Brookfield Elementary, and Holland Elementary also outperform it in all three subjects, while Wales Elementary is close in ELA (27.12% vs 25.76%) but ahead in math and science, and Warren Elementary is mixed.

Grade-level results vary widely. Seventh-grade ELA (40.00%) slightly exceeded the state, and third-grade ELA and fifth-grade science were relative bright spots. Weakest were fifth-grade math (13.64%) and eighth grade across ELA, math, science, and civics — all around 16.67–20.83%, far below the state. Because the school serves K–8 while most neighbors end at grade 6, these upper-grade results weigh heavily on its overall profile. Also worth noting: per-student spending of $15,628 (2020–2021) is the lowest among listed nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 12.7 to 14.5.
