Summary:
The city of Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts has only one school, Hanscom Middle, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 494 students. Hanscom Middle is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked 77 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
While the Lincoln School District is relatively high-performing, Hanscom Middle's own performance metrics are mixed compared to state and district averages. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 466 out of 928 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 375 out of 906 in 2024-2025. Hanscom Middle's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are generally lower than the Lincoln district and Massachusetts state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts.
Despite these academic challenges, Hanscom Middle has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, suggesting a high level of individual attention for students. However, the school's high spending of $28,262 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, does not appear to be translating into commensurate academic performance. Overall, Hanscom Middle seems to be a relatively average-performing school within a high-performing district, with some areas for potential improvement in academic achievement and resource utilization.
