Best Public Schools in Hinsdale, MA

Summary:

The city of Hinsdale, Massachusetts has only one elementary school, Kittredge Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1 and spends more per student than the state average, its academic performance has been a concern in recent years.

Kittredge Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined, going from 371st out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 511th out of 906 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally below the Central Berkshire district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting it is performing below average compared to other schools in Massachusetts.

While Kittredge Elementary School has some positive metrics, such as its low student-teacher ratio, the data indicates that the school is struggling to maintain consistent academic performance across its student body. The declining statewide ranking and below-average MCAS proficiency rates suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and improvements to better serve its students and the Hinsdale community.
