Summary:

Quabbin is a small regional district in central Massachusetts serving about 2,082 students across six schools: four elementary schools (Ruggles Lane, Hubbardston Center, Hardwick Elementary, and Oakham Center), one middle school (Quabbin Regional Middle School), and one high school (Quabbin Regional High School). The Quabbin district as a whole is rated 248th of 351 in Massachusetts — 29th percentile, 1 star — but that district-wide rating hides large differences from school to school.

Two elementary schools stand out. Hubbardston Center is the most balanced: a 3-star school at the 50th percentile, with 2025–2026 proficiency of 38.46% in ELA, 44.27% in math, and 46.81% in science — math and science above the state. Oakham Center is also 3-star at the 52nd percentile, with the district's best ELA (48.84%) and science (55.26%), but weak math (25.88%). Quabbin Regional High School has improved to 3 stars and the 50th percentile, with a graduation rate of 86.4% versus the district's 83.7%, a dropout rate of 9.3% versus 10.6%, and Biology End of Course at 43.48% versus the state's 37.68%. Its grade-10 ELA, math, and science still trail the state.

Families should watch the middle school years most closely. Quabbin Regional Middle School fell from the 47th to the 28th percentile and is now 1-star, with all subjects near 25%. Ruggles Lane slipped from the 45th to the 29th percentile, and Hardwick Elementary from the 55th to the 35th, with science at just 15.79%. Math is a district-wide weak spot except at Hubbardston Center. Notably, spending and class size do not track outcomes here.
