Summary

Four Rivers Charter Public School is a small public charter school in Greenfield, MA, serving about 213 students in grades 7–12 as its own district, Four Rivers Charter Public (District). Its recent record is strong but cooled sharply in the latest year: it ranked 165th of 353 Massachusetts schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26, down from the 91st percentile in 2024–25 and 93rd in 2021–22. Its current standing is mid-pack, but that reflects a one-year reversal rather than a long pattern of low performance.

Academically, results are mixed. English language arts is about at the state average (41.1% proficient vs. 40.03%), science is well above it (52.78% vs. 40.98%), and 8th-grade civics is a standout (62.86% vs. 39.77%). Mathematics is the clear weakness: 26.76% proficient across all grades vs. 41.11% state, with 8th-grade math lowest at 22.86% vs. 41.67%. Tenth-grade math is close to state (43.24% vs. 43.73%), so the middle grades appear to be the main drag. Completion outcomes are excellent — 100% graduation and 0% dropout in 2024–25 — and the student-teacher ratio is a low 9.2.

Compared with neighbors, Four Rivers clearly outperforms Greenfield High and Turners Fall High in test scores and completion, and trails Amherst Regional High and Frontier Regional on several high-school measures. It is roughly comparable to Hopkins Academy, Pioneer Valley Regional, and Mohawk Trail Regional School, though its science and graduation results are often stronger. Within the school, results differ by group: male students rank at the 74th percentile (4 stars) while female students rank at the 25th percentile (1 star), and students from low-income families and students with disabilities now sit around the 50th percentile after previously ranking much higher.
