Summary:
Hawlemont is a single-school district in Charlemont, Massachusetts, with one elementary school serving grades PK–6, so there are no other local schools to compare against — the meaningful comparisons are Hawlemont Regional versus the state and versus its own past years.
Hawlemont Regional is very small, with 71 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.7, plus per-student spending of $20,677 (2020–2021). Its results are mixed. English language arts is close to state levels: all-grade ELA was 38.89% proficient in 2025–2026 versus 40.03% statewide, and 5th-grade ELA was slightly above state at 40% versus 38.15%. ELA also improved from 35.29% the year before. Math is the clearest weakness, at 27.78% proficient versus 41.11% statewide — a gap of 13.33 percentage points — with 6th-grade math at 27.27% versus 42.59%. Math did improve sharply year over year, from 14.29% to 27.78%. Science is volatile: it fell from 60% proficient in 2024–2025, which was 18.49 points above state, to 40% in 2025–2026, about one point below state.
The district ranks 250 of 351 (29th percentile, 1 star), and the school's own rank has slipped from 50th percentile/3 stars in 2023–2024 to 43rd percentile/2 stars in 2024–2025 to 40th percentile/2 stars in 2025–2026, even as ELA and Math proficiency rose. Because enrollment is so small, a student or two can shift percentages by several points, so single-year changes — especially the science drop — should be read cautiously. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported here, so economic context is unavailable.
