Per-student spending is $17,097 for 2020–2021, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so economic context is unavailable.

Its all-grade Math proficiency is 28.57%, slightly above the district’s 27.45% but below the state’s 41.11%. Science is the clearest concern: 15.79%, compared with 31.85% for the district and 40.98% for the state, down from 28.57% in 2024–2025. Grade-level results are uneven.

The Quabbin district ranks 248 of 351, at the 29th percentile with 1 star. Because enrollment is 169 across PK–5, grade-level percentages can be volatile. Overall, Hardwick Elementary is the only school in Gilbertville and the only elementary option in the supplied data; its strengths are 4th grade ELA and Math and all-grade ELA relative to the district, while Science, 5th grade Math, and the recent rank decline are the main challenges.
