Summary

Sharon Middle is a public middle school in Sharon, MA, serving 815 students in grades 6–8 in a suburban community about 20 miles southwest of Boston. It ranks 42nd of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 91st percentile with 5 stars — and its district, Sharon, ranks 18th of 351 districts (95th percentile, 5 stars). That is the top ranking among nearby middle schools: the next closest is Wm H Galvin Middle in Canton at 77th of 478 (84th percentile, 4 stars). Sharon Middle has stayed in the top 9–13% statewide for years, improving from 55th–56th in 2021–2023 to 42nd in 2024–2026.

Test scores are the school's clearest strength. In 2025–2026 MCAS, Sharon Middle posted 64.99% proficient in ELA, 69.65% in math, 67.86% in science, and 71.65% in civics — first among all nearby schools in every subject. Its biggest edges are science, 8.51 points above Easton Middle School (59.35), and civics, 11.03 points above Wm H Galvin Middle (60.62). All four subjects are roughly 25–32 points above state averages. Within the school, 8th grade ELA (72.16) is the standout, while 7th grade ELA (58.95) is the lowest grade-level result but still above every nearby school's 7th grade ELA. Math is strong overall, though 8th grade math (65.88) trails Canton's 75.88.

Sharon Middle's effectiveness ranks for specific student groups are another differentiator: low-income students rank at the 96th percentile and students with disabilities at the 92nd, both above the school's overall 91st percentile, and female and male students are both at the 91st. One group, Asian students, ranks lower at the 67th percentile (3 stars) and has varied year to year — a relative gap worth watching. Resources are solid but not extreme: a 10.5 student/teacher ratio and $18,262 per-student spending in 2020–2021, mid-to-high locally; Mansfield spends more per student and ranks lower.
