Summary:
Hampshire County's summary covers a single school: Hampshire Regional High, in the Hampshire district, a High school serving grades 7–12 with 718 students, so there are no other local schools to compare it against — only the state and its own past years.
The school is a mixed picture. Its completion metrics are strong: a 97.9% graduation rate (above the district's 97.1%), a 1.0% dropout rate (below the district's 1.9%), and a favorable 9.9 students-per-teacher ratio. Yet its overall rank slipped from 141 of 349 (60th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 210 of 353 (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, with the district at 223 of 351 (36th percentile, 2 stars). All-grade MCAS proficiency is below state in both years for ELA, Mathematics, and Science, and edged down year over year. Grade-level results vary widely: 7th-grade Math is a bright spot at 45.45% proficient versus 37.48% state (+7.97 points) and 10th-grade Math is essentially at state (43.24% vs. 43.73%), but 8th-grade Math is 28.26% versus 41.67% (−13.41 points) and 10th-grade ELA is 32.48% versus 45.48% (−13.00 points). Biology All Grades was strong in 2024–2025 (47.12% vs. 39.02% state), while Biology End of Course in 2025–2026 was 27.35% versus 37.68%. Eighth-grade Civics stayed near 34% both years, about 5 points below state.
Per-student spending was $22,026 in 2020–2021, an older figure. Free/reduced-lunch data is unknown in this record, so it is not treated as 0% or as a weakness. Because the district has one school, every MCAS school value equals the district value.
