Orange

Orange, Massachusetts is served by a single-school district: Fisher Hill School is an elementary school covering grades PK–6 with 494 students, and because it is the only school, its MCAS results and the district's results are identical. The Orange district ranks 328 of 351 Massachusetts districts, placing it in the 7th percentile with 0 stars.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS, Fisher Hill School performed below state averages in every subject, though by very different margins. All-grade ELA proficiency was 17.19% against the state's 40.03%, a gap of 22.84 percentage points, and math was 23.14% against 41.11%, a gap of 17.97 points. Science was the clearest relative bright spot at 37.74% versus the state's 40.98% — only 3.24 points behind. Encouragingly, the school improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 1.72 points, math 4.30 points, and science 6.75 points, while state science slipped slightly over the same period.

Results vary sharply by grade. Third grade posted the strongest ELA (30.77%) and math (31.37%) results, while 6th grade ELA was lowest at 13.04% — 27.22 points below the state — with 5th grade ELA (13.21%) and 5th grade math (15.09%) close behind. The school ranked 746 of 899 in 2025–2026, the 17th percentile with 1 star, an improvement of 55 positions from the prior year. Fisher Hill's student-teacher ratio is 12.5, and per-student spending was $18,260 in 2020–2021, but the dataset offers no peer comparison to judge whether those figures are high or low, and the spending year predates the test-score years. Free/reduced lunch data is not populated in this record, so economic context cannot be assessed here.
