Summary

Hatfield Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 201 students in Hatfield, MA, a small town in the Pioneer Valley just north of Northampton. For 2025–26 it ranks 421st of 899 Massachusetts schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars) — mid-pack statewide and a steady climb from its 2022–23 low of 45th percentile, though still well below its 2017–18 peak of 72nd percentile and 4 stars. Its district, Hatfield, ranks 226th of 351 (36th percentile, 2 stars), lower than nearby districts including Whately, Hadley, Northampton, Amherst, and Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public (District). The school's own 3-star rating sits above its district's, suggesting the elementary school may be a bright spot locally.

On 2025–26 MCAS, ELA proficiency was 41.43%, just above the state's 40.03% and the district's 39.29%, but near the bottom of the nearby group — only Bridge Street scored lower, while schools such as Crocker Farm Elementary, Wildwood Elementary, and Jackson Street reached the high 40s to mid 50s. Math is the clearer weakness: 38.57% versus the state's 41.11%, below the state in each of the past four reported years and behind almost every nearby school. Science is the standout at 57.14%, about 16 points above the state and competitive with neighbors like Whately Elementary and Hadley Elementary. Because science is tested only in 5th grade, that figure reflects one small cohort and has swung widely (25% in 2022–23 to 64% in 2024–25).

Grade-level results are mixed: 3rd grade ELA (50%) and 4th grade math (45%) beat the state, while 5th grade ELA (35.71%) and math (32.14%) fall below it, even as 5th grade science (57.14%) is strong. Hatfield spends less per student ($15,326) than every nearby school compared, and its 10.9 student-teacher ratio is higher than most, so these results come with relatively tight resources. Bottom line: a small, improving school with real science strength and a math gap to watch.
