Summary:
The Hampden-Wilbraham district includes four elementary schools with about 1,278 students total, but they are not grade-comparable: Mile Tree Elementary serves PK–1, Stony Hill School serves grades 2–3, Soule Road serves grades 4–5, and Green Meadows Elementary spans PK–8. Because MCAS testing begins in grade 3, Mile Tree has no test scores here, and Stony Hill's all-grade results are essentially grade-3 results. The district itself ranks 109 of 351 in Massachusetts, the 69th percentile, with 3 stars.
Green Meadows Elementary is the clearest standout, leading the three tested schools in 2025-26 all-grade ELA (53.91), math (50), and science (58.7), all above district and state. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.6) and rose from the 52nd percentile in 2023-24 to the 70th in 2025-26, now 4 stars. Soule Road is above the state but below the district in all three subjects, and slipped: science fell 13.44 points from 2024-25's bright spot of 60.84, and its rank dropped from the 65th to the 56th percentile. Stony Hill School has the weakest current profile, with 2025-26 ELA (36.02) and math (38.51) below both district and state, though its old 2007-2010 rank history showed 76th–79th percentile and 4 stars.
Mile Tree Elementary cannot be judged on proficiency from this data, having no test scores or rank. It has the largest enrollment (355), the highest student-teacher ratio (15.8), and per-student spending of $18,066—essentially tied with Green Meadows at $18,064. Spending and staffing patterns here do not tell a simple story: Soule Road has the lowest per-student spending yet is above the state in all three subjects. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all four schools, so it is unknown rather than zero, and spending figures are from 2020-21, not the same year as the test scores.
