Ephraim Curtis Middle

Ephraim Curtis Middle School serves 828 sixth through eighth graders in Sudbury, Massachusetts. With a composite score of 9.3 out of 10, the school earns an Exceptional rating — placing it 32nd out of 1,791 public schools statewide and outperforming 98% of Massachusetts schools. Among the state's 305 public middle schools, Curtis ranks 4th.

Academic performance drives the rating. The school scores 9.4 out of 10 on academics, reflecting consistently strong tested outcomes across all three grade levels. The growth score of 9.1 out of 10 adds a second signal: students here are making year-over-year gains at a strong pace, not just arriving prepared.

The student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1 means 828 students are distributed across a faculty large enough to keep classroom sizes genuinely small. Curtis is the highest-ranked of Sudbury's six public schools and earns that position as a regular public school with no selective admissions or magnet designation. For parents comparing middle schools across Massachusetts, the Exceptional composite and the alignment between academic outcomes and growth make this one of the clearest data-driven choices in the state.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.7:1, Ephraim Curtis Middle offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
