Summary
Kittredge is an elementary school located in Hinsdale, MA, serving grades PK-5 with 177 students. It is part of the Central Berkshire school district, which is ranked 177 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kittredge's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 511 out of 906 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to as low as 665 out of 942 in 2018-2019.
Kittredge's student performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally below the Central Berkshire district and Massachusetts state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.49% of Kittredge students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.92% for the district and 41.53% for the state. However, Kittredge's special education students and low socioeconomic status students have shown strong performance, ranking in the top 20% and top 5% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Becket Washington School and Lanesborough Elementary, Kittredge generally underperforms.
Kittredge's relatively high student-teacher ratio of around 15:1 and fluctuating per-student spending, ranging from $16,742 in 2018-2019 to $21,750 in 2019-2020, may suggest that the school is facing challenges in terms of staffing and resource allocation, which could be contributing to its academic performance issues. The wide performance gaps between different student subgroups at Kittredge, such as the stark difference between female and male students, indicate that the school may need to focus on addressing equity and inclusion issues.
