Summary:

The city of Gilbertville, Massachusetts has only one school, Hardwick Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 189 students. Hardwick Elementary is part of the Quabbin school district, which is ranked 234 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past three years, Hardwick Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 394 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 571 out of 906 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 to 2 stars in 2024-2025. In the 2024-2025 school year, Hardwick Elementary's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments were below the Quabbin district and Massachusetts state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, though the school's performance varied across grade levels.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and higher per-student spending of $17,097 for the 2020-2021 school year, Hardwick Elementary's declining performance suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources to support student learning. Without additional data on the school's student demographics, it is difficult to determine the factors contributing to the school's performance.
