Summary

Greenfield Middle is a public middle school in Greenfield, Massachusetts, serving 325 students in grades 5–7 as part of the Greenfield district. It ranked 356th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 26th percentile, or 1 star — while its district ranks 336th of 351 districts, in the 4th percentile. The school's rank history shows a long decline followed by a partial recovery: it sat in the 42nd percentile in 2015–2016, dropped to the 8th percentile in 2021–2022, improved to the 30th percentile in 2024–2025, and slipped to the 26th in 2025–2026.

On tests, Greenfield Middle beats its own district in all three subjects but trails the state. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 27.72% (district 22.53%, state 40.03%), math was 21.28% (district 19.00%, state 41.11%), and science was 30.48% (district 23.65%, state 40.98%). Math is the clearest weakness — roughly 17–21 points below the state at every grade. Compared with nearby schools, Greenfield outperformed Athol-Royalston Middle School in all three subjects and edged Great Falls Middle in ELA and science while trailing it slightly in math, but it remains far behind John F Kennedy Middle School and Amherst Regional Middle School. Note that these schools serve different grade spans, and science comparisons are especially imperfect because Greenfield's science result comes from grade 5.

Scores have risen from their 2022–2023 low, though the gap to the state remains. Group results are uneven: male students ranked in the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026 while female students ranked in the 13th, a gap that has widened, and special education students reached the 31st percentile. Spending was $17,767 per student in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 9.8 in 2022–2023 to 11.3 in 2024–2025 — higher than JFK, Great Falls, and Amherst, but lower than Athol-Royalston. Still, similar spending at JFK produces much stronger results, suggesting money alone does not explain outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, October 24, 2010

Student to Teachers ratios are not at all accurate & far off from truthful. Overcrowded classrooms of 20-25 students to 1 teacher & over the required MA student to teacher ratio. Teacher qualifications to educate on all subjects are not qualified on every class subject yet left to teach the students on areas they have no qualification for. If information is being filled out by the office & school staff to send to the state on any of this information they are not be truthful. Under-qualified teachers & over-crowded classrooms. Who pays the price or this? The students do when crammed into crowded classrooms & teachers who are not qualified to teach all subjects but maybe one or two & left to educate the children on subjects they were not qualified or educated to teach. School claims they are all Highly Qualified teachers yet can not show or prove this with teacher qualification status when asked. Proof of over crowed classrooms is apparent when visiting. Does this make for good education of the students that attend here. NO! Not by far. Rating says I have to pick 1-5 stars to submit this. THIS SCHOOL DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE 1 STAR. Poor education at it's best you will find here. Close Quote
