Summary

Greenfield High is a public high school in Greenfield, MA, serving 404 students in grades 8–12 as part of the Greenfield district. It is among the lowest-ranked schools in Massachusetts, with 1 star and an 11th percentile rank in 2025–2026. The district ranks 336th of 351 districts (4th percentile) with 0 stars. The school’s ranking has declined over time, from the 39th percentile in 2017–2018 to 11th percentile now, with a brief improvement to 24th percentile in 2023–2024 that did not last.

Test proficiency is very low. In 2025–2026, all-grade MCAS Next Generation proficiency was 13.79% in English Language Arts, 6.9% in math, and 16.09% in science, compared with about 40% statewide in each subject. Tenth-grade science is a critical weakness at 2.04%, far below nearby schools: Turners Fall High (24.39%), Franklin County Technical (27.44%), Pioneer Valley Regional (36.36%), Mohawk Trail Regional School (50%), Frontier Regional (48.05%), and Amherst Regional High (65.12%). Physics proficiency is 12.73% versus the state’s 46.58%. Math has stayed in the 3–7% range for years.

There is one positive trend: graduation and dropout improved sharply in 2024–2025. The graduation rate rose to 87.6% after 75.6% and 75.0% in the prior two years, and dropout fell to 6.7% from 15.1% and 14.8%. That is better than Turners Fall High (81.6% graduation, 14.3% dropout) and Ralph C Mahar Regional (83.3% graduation, 12.8% dropout), but lower than Four Rivers Charter Public School, which is 1.51 miles away and has 100% graduation, 0% dropout, and much higher proficiency. Greenfield spends $17,714 per student (2020–2021), less than some higher-performing neighbors but more than Smith Academy and Hopkins Academy, both of which have stronger results. The student-teacher ratio is 10.9.
