Summary:

Schools in Chicopee, Massachusetts include 15 schools—9 elementary, 2 middle, and 4 high—serving PK–12, with most in the Chicopee district and one in the Hampden Charter School of Science (District). Total enrollment is 7,471. The Chicopee district ranks 283/351 (19th percentile, 1 star), while Hampden Charter School of Science (District) ranks 132/351 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all schools, and Belcher has no test data (PK–1).

Hampden Charter School of Science is the top performer: 85/353, 76th percentile, 4 stars; 10th-grade ELA 74.07%, math 58.09%, science 60.17% vs state; 94.0% graduation, 3.4% dropout; but 7th-grade math (22.3%) and 8th-grade math (27.7%) are below state. Bowie is the strongest elementary (54th percentile, 3 stars; ELA 43.55%, science 56.86% vs state 40.98%). Gen John J Stefanik is stable (42nd percentile, 2 stars) with science 48.33%. Lambert-Lavoie excels in math (43.24% vs state 41.11%). Chicopee Comprehensive High School leads traditional high schools (10th ELA 37.93%, math 29.23%, science 28.93%; 93.7% graduation, 4.2% dropout).

Chicopee Academy is an extreme outlier: all-grade ELA 6.67%, math 0%; 55.6% graduation, 33.3% dropout; $49,448 per student, 4.3 ratio—likely a specialized setting. Chicopee High is the lowest traditional high (10th ELA 25.24%, math 13.4%, science 15.38%; 85.7% graduation, 12.2% dropout; 12th percentile, 1 star). Fairview Elementary has the lowest elementary scores (ELA 18.62%, math 13.19%, science 24.49%; 0 stars), and Streiber Memorial School declined to 30th percentile with science 18.75% vs state 40.98%. Trends are mixed: Hampden Charter School of Science, Litwin, Lambert-Lavoie, and Barry improved; Fairview Elementary and Streiber Memorial School declined; Dupont Middle fell from 39th to 29th. Spending shows no simple link: Hampden Charter School of Science has low spending ($15,889) but strong outcomes; Fairview Elementary has high spending ($19,094) but weak scores. Data limitations: mixed grades/years, different ranking denominators, and missing data for Belcher and Chicopee Academy.
