Saugus Public School District roughly covers schools within Essex County and has a main office in Saugus.

In the 2021-22 school year, 399,938 students took the Math test in Massachusetts with 65% students failing, 7.6% less than the year before.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's 2022 Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), the average scale score for grade 10 English Language Arts was 503, which met the expectation level, while the average scale score for grade 10 Science was 499, which only partially met the expectation level.
