Summary:
Lenox, MA is a small district with just two schools — Lenox Memorial High, which serves grades 6–12 with 439 students, and Morris, which serves PK–5 with 332 students — for a combined enrollment of 771. There is no standalone middle school; grades 6–8 are housed inside the high school building. As a district, Lenox ranks 48th of 351 districts in Massachusetts, placing it in the 86th percentile with 4 stars.
Lenox Memorial High is the standout. In 2025–2026 it ranked 35th of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 90th percentile — and earned 5 stars, up from 48th and 4 stars the year before. Its 10th-grade results are exceptional: ELA proficiency of 89.06% versus the state's 45.48%, math at 71.43% versus 43.73%, and science at 74.60% versus 40.50%. All-grade scores also sit well above state averages in ELA, math, and science. The school reports a 95.0% graduation rate, a 3.3% dropout rate, a low student-teacher ratio of 7.5, and per-student spending of $22,567 in 2020–2021. Note that one reported figure — Physics at 100% proficient in 2024–2025, against a state rate of 44.25% — comes from a small cohort and should be read cautiously.
Morris is solid but losing relative ground. It beats the state in all reported subjects, yet in 2025–2026 it trailed the district average in all three, and its state rank percentile slipped from 84th in 2023–2024 to 75th in 2025–2026. Meanwhile, the high school posted large all-grade gains in math (+11.24 points) and science (+11.41 points), though biology and 8th-grade civics declined. Two caveats: free/reduced-lunch data are unreported for both schools, so socioeconomic context is missing, and spending figures date to 2020–2021.
