Summary

Gill Elementary is a public K–6 school in Gill, MA, serving about 110 students as part of the Gill-Montague district. The district ranks low statewide—285th of 351 districts, 19th percentile—but the school itself has recently performed well above that context: in 2025–2026 it ranked 402nd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, the 55th percentile with 3 stars, down slightly from the 63rd percentile in each of the two prior years. On the 2025–2026 MCAS, 43.08% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 39.39% in Math, and 55% in Science—above the district in every subject, and above the state in ELA and Science.

Compared with nearby schools, Gill stands out. Among neighbors with ranking data, only Erving Elementary ranks higher (62nd percentile). Northfield Elementary (47th) and Bernardston Elementary (45th) trail behind, as do Fisher Hill School (17th), Federal Street School (24th), Discovery School at Four Corners (14th), Newton School (1st), and Sheffield Elementary School (10th), its fellow district school. Gill beat Sheffield by 21.44 points in ELA, 25.21 in Math, and 43.24 in Science. Erving has stronger Math and slightly stronger Science, while Northfield has stronger Math and Science but weaker ELA.

Results vary by grade: 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades were at or above state levels, but 4th grade lagged sharply (18.75% in ELA, 17.65% in Math). Female students ranked at the 88th percentile with 4 stars, compared with the 33rd percentile and 2 stars for male students. With only 110 students, one cohort can shift schoolwide averages, and comparisons are limited because nearby schools serve different grade spans.
