Sherborn

Located at 157 Farm Street in Dover, Massachusetts, the Sherborn public school district is a fully operational, non-charter elementary district situated in a rural fringe setting within the Greater Boston metropolitan area. Serving young learners from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade across its single school campus, the district provides a focused early-childhood and primary educational foundation. For the current school year, Sherborn educates a total of 397 students—comprising 204 female and 193 male pupils—distributed across grade levels ranging from 12 pre-kindergarteners to 76 fifth graders. The student body reflects a growing cultural mix, including 299 White, 38 Asian, 25 multiracial, 19 Hispanic, and 16 Black students, creating a supportive community tailored to early academic and social growth.

The district is particularly distinguished by its generous staffing context and commitment to small class sizes and personalized instruction. Sherborn maintains a total workforce of 147.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, anchored by 75.2 FTE classroom teachers. This robust faculty is further reinforced by roughly 20 FTE instructional aides and 52.2 FTE specialized support staff, resulting in an exceptionally favorable student-to-teacher ratio of approximately five to one. As a standalone public school system outside of a supervisory union, Sherborn blends small-town educational charm with comprehensive resources.
