Summary

Hubbardston Center is a public elementary school in Hubbardston, MA, a small town in central Massachusetts, serving 304 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Quabbin district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 446 out of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, placing it in the 50th percentile with 3 stars, while the Quabbin district ranked 248 out of 351 districts, or the 29th percentile with 1 star. That gap is a key takeaway: the school is performing well above its own district’s overall standing.

In 2025–2026, Hubbardston Center outperformed its district in all three tested subjects and beat the state in mathematics and science. It scored 38.46% in English Language Arts, 44.27% in math, and 46.81% in science, compared with district scores of 30.97%, 27.45%, and 31.85%, and state scores of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Math and science are relative strengths, while ELA was slightly below the state after being above it in the previous three years. Fifth grade is the standout cohort, exceeding both district and state in all three subjects. Fourth grade math is also strong, but fourth grade ELA is a weak spot at 27.03%, and third grade results are mixed.

Among nearby schools, Hubbardston Center sits in the middle-to-upper-middle range. Petersham Center, Thomas Prince, and Glenwood Elementary School rank higher overall. Hubbardston Center is roughly comparable to Oakham Center overall, though Oakham Center is stronger in ELA and science while Hubbardston Center has a large math advantage (44.27% vs. 25.88%). It clearly outperforms Ruggles Lane, Templeton Elementary School, Westminster Elementary, and Gardner Elementary School. The school has an unusually high student-teacher ratio of 19.9 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby listed schools, yet it still outperforms its district. Subgroup results are mixed: special education and low-income students have shown 4-star results in some recent years, but free/reduced lunch data are unavailable. Rank history is volatile rather than steadily improving, ranging from the 40th to the 71st percentile over the past decade and settling around the 50th percentile in 2025–2026.
