SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 899 Massachusetts Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of Massachusetts elementary schools

Summary

Hill View Montessori Charter Public School is a K–8 charter school at 75 Foundation Avenue in Haverhill, Massachusetts, serving 306 students as its own single-school district, Hill View Montessori Charter Public (District). It ranks 306th of 351 Massachusetts districts (13th percentile) and 803rd of 899 elementary schools statewide (11th percentile), and recent years have generally placed it between the 11th and 19th percentile.

The clearest weakness is math. All-grade math proficiency is 10.2%, against a state average of 41.11%, and no grade reaches 16%. That is the lowest rate among nearby schools with reported math scores — even Edward F. Parthum, which ranks just below Hill View overall, posts 18.63%. ELA is mixed at 28.35% (state: 40.03%), with a striking low of 3.03% in 4th grade but 53.13% in 7th grade and 41.38% in 8th. Science is 29.03% (state: 40.98%), ahead of Pentucket Lake Elementary and Comprehensive Grammar School but below Caleb Dustin Hunking School. Eighth-grade civics, at 44.83%, is a genuine bright spot — above the state's 39.77% and well above Comprehensive Grammar and Hunking.

Subgroup effectiveness ranks, which compare how well schools serve specific student populations, show real gaps: Hispanic students ranked in the bottom 1% statewide in 2025–2026, while female and low-income students were each in the bottom 7%. Math has been stagnant for four years, staying between 10.2% and 12.5%. Compared with local peers, Hill View trails Bradford Elementary (46th percentile), Hunking (42nd), Golden Hill and Comprehensive Grammar (35th each), and Pentucket Lake and Tilton (25th each). Resources look mid-range rather than disadvantaged, with a 12.2 student–teacher ratio and $15,701 per-student spending in 2020–2021. Cohorts here are small, and free/reduced-lunch data was not reported.

In the past the discipline wasn't good and they have had issues keeping teachers. There is a new executive director and headmaster so things are definitely on the upswing. My oldest child is graduating from HS after attending HVM from 5th-8th grade and had no trouble transitioning and is a straight A student who got above average on all of her MCAS. They do not teach to the MCAS so it can look bad on state testing but they say they catch up by the time they graduate 8th grade. My children who went since K have scored average on their MCAS for the most part. Close Quote

Love, love, love this school. Wonderful dedicated teachers, parents that go above and beyond, students whom excel. Look at the latest MCAS within the Haverhill School District. A great mix of Montessori and core education. As asset to Haverhill. Close Quote

HVM is one of the top elementary/middle school options to the residents of Haverhill. It is a unique blend of Montessori techniques while still following the core educational requirements (MCAS). They have a new building in Ward Hill area of Haverhill and a very dedicated teaching staff. I would not hesitate to recommend the school to others. Close Quote
