Summary:
The 01330 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Sanderson Academy, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 139 students. Sanderson Academy appears to be a relatively high-performing school, with students consistently outperforming their district (Mohawk Trail) and state averages on MCAS assessments, particularly in 3rd grade. However, the school's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated in recent years, and it has a predominantly white student population with low representation from other racial and ethnic groups.
Sanderson Academy's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that exceed district and state averages.

The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, from 2 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. Additionally, Sanderson Academy has a predominantly white student population, with 94.96% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year, which may raise concerns about equity and access for underrepresented groups.
