Summary

Sutton Elementary is a grades 3–5 school in Sutton, Massachusetts, serving 287 students alongside its sister school, Sutton Early Learning (prekindergarten through grade 2), which sits 0.04 miles away and enrolls 324 students. The school ranked 498th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 45th percentile, 2 stars — while the Sutton district ranks 143rd of 351 districts (59th percentile, 3 stars). Its percentile rank has ranged from 41 to 56 over the past decade, with 2024–2025 (51st percentile, 3 stars) a relative high point.

In 2025–2026, proficiency rates were 36.4% in ELA, 39.93% in mathematics, and 40.86% in science — below the state in ELA and math, essentially at the state level in science, and below the district in all three subjects. That is a step back from 2024–2025, when the school topped state averages in every subject. Grade-level results show where the dip comes from: 5th grade ELA (40.86%) and mathematics (39.78%) came in at or slightly above state averages, while 3rd grade ELA (34.04%), 3rd grade mathematics (38.3%), and 4th grade ELA (34.38%) fell well below. Science is uneven too, with 5th grade science (40.86%) trailing the state's 43.07%.

Nearby schools offer useful context. Clara Barton in Oxford (43rd percentile), Raymond E. Shaw Elementary in Millbury (46th), and Northbridge Elementary School (43rd) are comparable overall. Two others clearly outperform Sutton in all three subjects: Swanson Road Intermediate School in Auburn (58th percentile) and Millbury Street Elementary School in Grafton (72nd), which leads by roughly 12 points in ELA, 17 in mathematics, and 16 in science. Both spend less per student than Sutton's $17,779 (2020–2021), and Swanson Road has a higher student–teacher ratio than Sutton's 11.8 — the lowest among nearby schools. Subgroup results are mixed: the school ranks in the 65th percentile (3 stars) for low-income students and 54th percentile (3 stars) for special education students, both above its overall standing.
