Summary:
ZIP code 01590 is Sutton, Massachusetts, home to four public schools in the Sutton district serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Sutton Early Learning (PK–2), Sutton Elementary (3–5), Sutton Middle School (6–8), and Sutton High School (9–12), with 1,291 students enrolled in total. The district ranks 143 of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars — a district-wide rating that applies to all four schools equally, not a school-specific score.
Sutton High School is the strongest performer: 4 stars and a 76th percentile rank in 2025–26, with scores above the state in 10th grade ELA, Math, Science, and especially Physics End of Course (63.49% proficient vs. 46.58% statewide), plus a 95.0% graduation rate. Its rank has slipped from the 84th percentile, and 10th-grade scores dropped from 2024–25, though all remain above state. Sutton Middle School (68th percentile, 3 stars) is above state in ELA, Math, Science, and 8th grade Civics (56.70 vs. 39.77), but 7th grade Math is a clear weak spot (31.25 vs. 37.48). Sutton Elementary is the weakest (45th percentile, 2 stars), falling below state in all-grade ELA, Math, and Science in 2025–26 after being above state the prior year.
Parents should note a performance gradient across grade levels: strong at the high school, mostly above state in the middle school, and below state in the elementary grades. Sutton Elementary has the highest per-student spending ($17,779) and the lowest student–teacher ratio (11.8) of the four schools, yet the lowest results. Sutton Early Learning serves PK–2 and has no test-score or rank data, so no academic conclusion can be drawn for it. Free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, spending figures are from 2020–21, and small schools can swing year to year, so treat single-year trends with caution.
