Academic Performance & Context
Because Shutesbury Elementary ends at grade 6, it reports no high school graduation rate; Shutesbury students earn their diplomas through the Amherst-Pelham Regional schools. MCAS results and accountability data for the elementary years are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
