Summary

Cottage Street is a K–5 elementary school in Sharon, MA, serving 433 students as part of the Sharon school district, one of the state's highest-ranked systems at 18th of 351 districts. Cottage Street's own 2025–26 standing is strong: it ranked 96th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — 89th percentile, 4 stars — though that is down from its 2023–24 peak of 76th and 5 stars.

All-grade MCAS proficiency in 2025–26 was 62.34% in ELA, 67.97% in math, and 75.32% in science, far above state averages of roughly 40–41% in each subject. Within Sharon, though, Cottage is the lowest-ranked of the district's three elementary schools, behind Heights Elementary (38th) and East Elementary (51st), while still sitting just ahead of John F Kennedy in Canton (101st). Cottage trails the district in ELA and math but exceeds it in science. Science is the clear standout: fifth-grade science proficiency of 75.32% beats both Sharon peers and is second among nearby schools only to Old Post Road in Walpole at 83.75%.

Grade-level data show the relative softness comes mainly from fourth grade, where ELA was 50% and math 61.54%, well below district averages, while fifth-grade math matched the district and fifth-grade science exceeded it. Special education results have been a consistent strength, ranking in the 82nd–84th percentile for three straight years. Cottage spends $18,014 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 16.1 — similar to its Sharon peers but higher than most nearby schools outside the district. Overall, this is a strong school whose clearest opportunity area appears to be fourth-grade ELA and math.
