Summary:
Hoosac Valley Regional is a small Massachusetts district with three schools — Hoosac Valley Elementary School serving PK–3, Hoosac Valley Middle School serving grades 4–7, and Hoosac Valley High School serving grades 8–12 — together educating 998 students, with the district as a whole ranked 302 of 351 statewide (14th percentile, 1 star).
Among the three, Hoosac Valley Middle School is the clearest standout: it is the only school here rated 2 stars, ranking 326 of 478 (32nd percentile), and its 50.88% science proficiency sits above both the district (34.53%) and state (40.98%). It also has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 9.7. Hoosac Valley High School ranks 279 of 353 (21st percentile, 1 star) but posted large year-over-year gains, with English language arts rising from 7.79% to 28.95% and math from 4.11% to 23.68%. Hoosac Valley Elementary School is the largest school (398 students) and the highest-spending ($19,180 per pupil), yet its third-grade English (27.78%) and math (19.44%) scores remain well below state levels (42.79% and 42.19%).
Math is the district-wide weak spot: at 18.58% proficiency, Hoosac Valley Regional trails the state's 41.11% by more than 22 points, and every school falls short. Spending and staffing do not track simply with results — the elementary school spends the most, while the middle school, which spends the least, holds the best rank and the lowest student/teacher ratio. High school outcomes also warrant attention, with an 86.0% graduation rate and a 14.0% dropout rate in 2024-25. Note that free/reduced lunch percentages are blank for all three schools, which limits what can be said about how economic factors relate to these gaps.
