Lenox Memorial High up 13 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Lenox, Massachusetts has just 2 schools serving roughly 771 students — Lenox Memorial High (grades 6–12, enrollment 439) and Morris (PK–5, enrollment 332) — with no standalone middle school. The Lenox district overall ranks 48 of 351 in Massachusetts (86th percentile, 4 stars), and that strong rating is driven largely by the high school. Note that the two schools are compared against different pools (high schools vs. elementary schools), and free/reduced-lunch data is blank for both, so poverty comparisons aren't possible here.

Lenox Memorial High is the clear standout. In 2025–2026 it ranked 35 of 353 high schools (90th percentile, 5 stars), up from 4 stars in each of the prior two years. Its graduation rate is 95.0% with a 3.3% dropout rate, and all-grade proficiency beats the state by roughly 17–23 points in ELA (62.09%), math (63.93%), and science (58.18%). Tenth-grade results are exceptional: ELA 89.06% versus the state's 45.48%, plus 71.43% in math and 74.60% in science. Year over year, all-grade math rose 11.24 points and science 11.41 points, moving the school above district levels in both, while ELA dipped slightly.

Morris remains a solid 4-star elementary school above state averages in every reported 2025–2026 subject — ELA 55.90%, math 56.17%, science 52.63% — but its trend is less encouraging. All-grade ELA and math declined from 2024–2025, and its rank percentile slipped from 84th (2023–2024) to 77th to 75th (221 of 899), even while holding 4 stars. Morris also has a higher student-teacher ratio (10.7 vs. 7.5), though its 2020–2021 per-student spending was slightly lower ($20,924 vs. $22,567). No cohort sizes are provided, so unusually high results — such as 2024–2025 physics at 100% — should be read with caution.
