Summary:
Colrain, Massachusetts has one school in this data set: Colrain Central, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 in the Mohawk Trail district, with 94 students enrolled and a student-teacher ratio of 9.9 in 2024–2025. The area summary lists 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 0 alternative schools. Because it is the only school, it is the local standout by default, but its own data shows meaningful strengths and weaknesses.
In 2025–2026, Colrain Central outperformed its district in all-grade ELA (+2.69 points), Mathematics (+1.30 points), and Science (+14.17 points), but trailed the state in all three: ELA -5.94, Mathematics -9.29, and Science -5.27. The brightest spot is 6th grade: Mathematics 80% proficient and ELA 70% proficient, far above both district and state. The clearest weakness is 5th grade: Mathematics 7.14% proficient and ELA 21.43% proficient, well below district and state. Science is a relative district strength at 35.71% all-grade, 14.17 points above the district but 5.27 points below the state.
Mathematics improved sharply year over year, rising from 19.57% in 2024–2025 to 31.82% in 2025–2026, a +12.25 point gain, while ELA dipped slightly by 0.69 points. Statewide rank also improved: from 671 of 916 in 2023–2024, to 627 of 906 in 2024–2025, to 530 of 899 in 2025–2026, with percentile rising from 27 to 41 and stars from 1 to 2. With only 94 students, grade-level results come from very small groups, so year-to-year shifts should be read with caution. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and spending per student is $31,395 from 2020–2021. Overall, Colrain Central is a small, improving school that beats its district and has exceptional 6th grade results, while 5th grade remains the main concern.
