Sharon-Mutual

The two schools in Sharon-Mutual serve prekindergarten through grade 8 and grades 9–12, with enrollments of 161 and 57. Their 2025–2026 results show a sharp split in mathematics: Sharon-Mutual Elementary School had 38% proficiency, 13 points above the state’s 25%, while Sharon-Mutual High School had 5%, 20 points below the state. The most important finding is that the elementary school’s mathematics result is strong relative to the state, while the high school’s is far below it.

The elementary school stands out in mathematics and science, though not across every subject: science proficiency was 25%, compared with 16% at the high school and 30% statewide. In English Language Arts I, the schools were close—18% at the elementary school and 19% at the high school—but both trailed the state’s 26%. The high school’s 2025–2026 proficiency was below the state in every reported subject, including U.S. History, at 29% versus 41%. Graduation offers a positive counterpoint: in 2024–2025, the high school’s rate was 88%, an 11-point advantage over the state’s 78%. The schools serve different grade spans, so their scores are not like-grade comparisons.

Results changed unevenly between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. At the elementary school, mathematics rose 14 points, from 24% to 38%, and English Language Arts I rose 8 points, from 10% to 18%; science fell 10 points, from 35% to 25%. High-school results moved little: mathematics rose 2 points to 5%, while English Language Arts I and science each rose 1 point; U.S. History fell 1 point to 29%. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 52% at the elementary school and 39% at the high school; student-teacher ratios were 15.7 and 10.3.
