STOUGHTON SCHOOLS ON THE RISE: Boston Magazine annually lists the top public school systems in the State. Of the 350 public school districts in Massachusetts, last year we ranked 104th.
This year, the have climbed to number 80, putting Stoughton among the top 25% of public school districts in the State.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Marguerite Rizzi remarked that, "This number puts us well above average, while we still operate with a far smaller than average per pupil expenditure, and have a diverse population with a variety of needs. I think we can be quite proud; while we are aiming for the top 25!"
