Summary:
Gill-Montague is a small western Massachusetts district serving about 858 students across five schools: three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, with no alternative school listed. The district as a whole ranks 285 of 351 statewide, at the 19th percentile with 1 star, but that single rating hides very different school-level results. Enrollment is split with roughly half of students (431) in elementary schools, 228 at Great Falls Middle, and 199 at Turners Fall High.
Gill Elementary is the clear standout, earning 3 stars and a 55th percentile rank, with proficiency above the state in ELA (43.08%) and Science (55.00%) and only slightly below in Math (39.39%). At the other end, Sheffield Elementary School ranks 812 of 899 at the 10th percentile with 0 stars, posting ELA 21.64%, Math 14.18%, and Science 11.76% — all below district and state averages, and its rank has fallen over three years. Hillcrest Elementary School serves PK–1, so it has no test data or rank history.
Great Falls Middle improved in all tested subjects but remains at 1 star and the 27th percentile, with 6th-grade math at just 3.77%. Turners Fall High rose from the 13th to the 28th percentile, yet reports 0% Biology proficiency, an 81.6% graduation rate, and a 14.3% dropout rate. Notably, Gill spends the least per student ($21,412) while producing the strongest results.
