Summary

Hanscom Middle is a public elementary school located in Hanscom AFB, MA, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 494 students. The school is part of the Lincoln District, which is ranked 77 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hanscom Middle's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally lower than the Lincoln district and the state of Massachusetts averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades is 47.88% at Hanscom Middle, compared to 57.45% in the Lincoln district and 41.53% statewide. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics for all grades is 43.24% at Hanscom Middle, compared to 55.74% in the Lincoln district and 40.74% statewide. However, Hanscom Middle's unique student population, with a significant number of military-connected students, appears to be a key factor in its performance, as this subgroup consistently ranks among the top in the state.

Hanscom Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Lincoln School, Alcott, and the Lexington schools, which are all highly ranked and perform significantly better on MCAS assessments. The nearby schools also have higher spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios compared to Hanscom Middle. Identifying and addressing the specific needs of underperforming student subgroups, as well as exploring ways to optimize the school's resources, could be key strategies to improve Hanscom Middle's performance.

Great school. There's a lot of turn around because we are all military families, but the staff really knows how to treat and understand these kids. Wonderful experience here Close Quote
