On the eastern bank of the Connecticut River just nine miles north of Amherst, Sunderland is a charming town that’s stood the test of time since 1718. Sunderland’s nearly 15 square miles of land rests near a large concentration of state forests, wildlife area, and preserves, making this Massachusetts locale perfect for outdoor lovers, families, and students alike.
Sunderland is a modest town, but there are a few lively, local spots like Wild Roots and Blue Heron along Amherst Road that make a compelling case for a night out. Students might enjoy the quiet atmosphere of Sunderland, as the University of Massachusetts Amherst is only seven miles south. Take a hike through Mount Toby State Forest, or one of the many wildlife areas just north of the town. I-91 is just across the river to the west, so a trip into Springfield is never out of the question.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
