Summary

New Hingham Regional Elementary is a small public school at 30 Smith Rd in Chesterfield, MA, serving roughly 126 students from prekindergarten through grade 6 as the school of the Chesterfield-Goshen district. For 2025-2026, the school ranked 521st of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (42nd percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 240th of 351. Its MCAS results show ELA proficiency at 32.35%, math at 41.18%, and science at 35.71%, compared with state averages of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98% — so math is close to the state level, while ELA and science trail.

Compared with nearby schools, New Hingham sits in the lower half. It outperforms R. H. Conwell (6th percentile, 15.38% math) and roughly matches Littleville Elementary School in ELA, but trails Westhampton Elementary School, Sanderson Academy, Leeds, R. K. Finn Ryan Road, Jackson Street, Chester Elementary, and Conway Grammar. The most striking contrast is Anne T. Dunphy School, a similarly sized school with comparable per-student spending that reaches 69.35% ELA, 75.81% math, and 100% science. New Hingham spends $23,721 per student (2020-2021), high for the area, and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 8.7.

Grade-level results vary sharply. Sixth-grade math proficiency is 68.42% — above the state's 42.59% for that grade and a clear bright spot — while third-grade ELA is 15.38% and third-grade math 23.08%, both well below state averages, making early literacy the most pressing area to watch. Science, at 35.71%, is below the state average and below nearly every nearby school with available data. Because each grade has only about 20 students, one cohort can swing school-wide scores, so year-to-year results are volatile and multi-year trends are more meaningful than any single year.
