Summary:
ZIP code 01375 contains just one public school — Sunderland Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 174 students — in the Sunderland district, and the area lists no middle schools, high schools, or alternative schools. Because it is the only school in the ZIP, it is the standout by default, and its district-level MCAS results are identical to its school-level results. The free/reduced-lunch figure for 2024–2025 is not reported, so it is unknown rather than zero.
Academically, science is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, all-grades science proficiency was 50%, about 9 points above the state's 40.98%, and fifth-grade science was also 50%, about 7 points above the state. Science improved from 45.83% the year before. Mathematics is the clearest weakness: proficiency was 32.10% versus the state's 41.11%, and it fell sharply from 48.19% in 2024–2025, a drop of 16.09 points while state math was roughly flat. English language arts slipped from 44.05%, which was above the state, to 38.75%, just below the state's 40.03%.
Grade-level results vary widely. Third-grade ELA (50.00%), fifth-grade math (50.00%), and fifth-grade science (50.00%) all beat state averages by roughly 7 to 10 points. Weak spots include fourth-grade math (23.81% vs. 43.20%), fifth-grade ELA (23.08% vs. 38.15%), and sixth- and third-grade math (both 30.43%). The school's rank fell to 520 of 899 schools, 42nd percentile with 2 stars, down from 384 of 906, 58th percentile with 3 stars. Resources look favorable — a 7.1 student-teacher ratio and $23,483 per student in 2020–2021 — though the small enrollment means grade-level swings should be read with caution.
