Summary

Pine Hill is a PK–5 elementary school in Sherborn, Massachusetts, serving 397 students as the town's district school, and it ranks 73rd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 92nd percentile, with a 5-star rating. The Sherborn district ranks 21st of 351 districts statewide, well ahead of neighboring Natick, Holliston, Ashland, and Framingham.

In 2025–2026 MCAS testing, 69.05% of Pine Hill students were proficient in English language arts, 69.19% in math, and 61.19% in science — roughly 29, 28, and 20 points above state averages. Among nearby schools, Pine Hill posted the highest all-grade ELA score, and its math result sits in a tight top cluster with Natick's Memorial (68.65%), Bennett-Hemenway (69.07%), and Brown (69.51%). Fourth grade is a particular strength: 75.32% proficient in ELA and 72.73% in math, both far above the state. The local contrasts are striking — Harmony Grove Elementary in Framingham, only 2.35 miles away, ranks at the 2nd percentile.

Recent trends are mostly positive. ELA rebounded from 59.33% in 2023–2024 to about 69% in each of the last two years, and math has risen three years running (63.64% → 66.36% → 69.19%). Science is the most volatile measure, easing from 72.00% to 61.19%, though still well above the state and above Miller School in Holliston. Pine Hill has the lowest student-teacher ratio locally (10.5) and spends $20,371 per student, and it is the smallest school in the comparison group at 397 students. One relative watch item: special education students rank at the 77th percentile — still above average, but below the school's overall 92nd and down from 89th three years ago. Note that spending figures run only through 2020–2021 while test scores are from 2025–2026, and nearby schools serve different grade spans.
