Summary

Green Meadows Elementary is a PK–8 school in Hampden, MA, serving 285 students as part of the Hampden-Wilbraham district. The school's results have climbed steadily over the past decade, from the 46th percentile of Massachusetts schools in 2015–2016 to the 70th percentile in 2025–2026, when it ranked 267th of 899 schools and earned 4 stars — a step above the district's 3-star profile.

Recent MCAS proficiency is strong across all three subjects: 53.91% in English language arts, 50% in math, and 58.7% in science, all above both district and state averages. That puts Green Meadows Elementary ahead of every nearby tested school — Soule Road, Stony Hill School, Mapleshade, Mountain View, Mary M Walsh, Daniel B Brunton, and Arthur T Talmadge — in all three subjects overall. Grade 5 is a standout: math proficiency of 71.74 is far above every nearby peer, and grade-5 science (58.7) is the top nearby result. ELA is consistently strong in grades 3 through 5. The clearest relative weakness is grade-3 math, at 34.38, which trails district and state averages.

Subgroup results point to meaningful equity strengths, particularly for low-income students, who ranked in the 86th–88th percentile in the last two years — higher than the school's overall rank. Female students and special education students also ranked solidly in the years available. At 285 students, Green Meadows is smaller than Mile Tree Elementary, Meadow Brook, Soule Road, and Stony Hill School, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.6 is the lowest among same-district schools with reported ratios. One caution: nearby schools serve different grade bands (Mile Tree PK–1, Stony Hill grades 2–3, Soule Road grades 4–5), so all-grade comparisons should be read carefully — though overlapping grade-level results still favor Green Meadows.

Friday, April 1, 2022

Went there as a middle schooler when Thorton Burgess closed. The transition was very rough for us. Now being in Minnechaug, I have come to the realization that Greenmeadows only caders to its younger students. But even then the staff couldn't handle a simple situation or put their two sense in with the parents. Anything to do with the middle school part of the school was turned away from. Any social issues were dismissed or were taken care of very poorly. I myself experienced harassment at the school and reported it to the principal. I was told my parents were going to be called and they would figure it out from there. In good old Green meadows fashion, nothing was done or taken seriously. As 6th to 8th graders, we should be treated fairly, problems like these were also seen in younger grades. My younger brother went there from kindergarten to 4th grade and was treated very differently than the other kids. He was in the middle of getting evaluated for autism when his 3rd-grade teacher recommended that my parents put him on drugs. I found it quite strange that the teachers had the nerve to be a doctor than to be a teacher and support these kids' educations. Don't put your kid through this school, the education is under par and will overwhelm your kid when they get to high school because they are so far behind. Trust me, I was the kid who got straight A's and still struggled when I got to high school. Close Quote
