Summary

Sharon High is a public comprehensive high school serving grades 9–12 in Sharon, Massachusetts, with 1,161 students—the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in this comparison set—and it is part of the Sharon district.

Sharon High is the clear academic standout in its local area. The Sharon district ranked 18th of 351 Massachusetts districts (95th percentile), well ahead of nearby districts including Walpole at 42nd, Canton at 58th, and Easton at 78th. At the school level, Sharon High ranked 28th of 353 high schools statewide in 2025–2026 (92nd percentile), far ahead of the next-best nearby schools such as Canton High at 65th and Oliver Ames High at 82nd. On 2025–2026 MCAS tests, 10th graders posted 72.18% proficiency in ELA, 77.36% in mathematics, 72.52% in science, and 78.8% in Physics—leading every nearby school in each subject and running roughly 26 to 34 percentage points above the state average.

Completion outcomes are strong as well: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.3% with a 1.1% dropout rate. A few nearby schools, including Norfolk County Agricultural and Oliver Ames High (both 98.6%), have equal or higher graduation rates, but those schools post much lower MCAS proficiency. Sharon High also serves its student groups well—in 2025–2026, every reported subgroup ranked at or above the 80th percentile statewide. Per-pupil spending of $18,194 (2020–2021) is mid-range locally: more than Walpole High or Oliver Ames High, less than Foxborough High. The student–teacher ratio of 11.9 is moderate, and the school delivers these results while enrolling more students than its neighbors.
