Summary

Hedge is a K–5 elementary school serving about 210 students in Plymouth, a coastal town in southeastern Massachusetts, as part of the Plymouth district. It ranks 499th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 (44th percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranks 182nd of 351 (48th percentile). Hedge's long-term trend is encouraging — it climbed from the 26th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 44th today — but it still sits just below the state median and is the lowest-ranked of the Plymouth elementary schools in this comparison group.

English language arts is the clearest concern. Hedge's all-grade ELA proficiency is 33.33%, below the district's 44.80% and the state's 40.03%, and the lowest among nearby schools with 2025–2026 data. The gap is concentrated in grades 4 and 5, where proficiency is just 25% and 24%. Math is steadier at 40.00% — above the district's 36.00% and only slightly below the state's 41.11% — and 4th- and 5th-grade math results are above both district and state averages. Science is a genuine bright spot: 52.00% proficiency, well above district and state, though still behind Alden School, Dennett Elementary, and Gov Edward Winslow.

Subgroup results add nuance. Low-income students rank in the 71st percentile statewide — far above the school's overall 44th — which suggests real effectiveness with that group, while male students (53rd percentile) outrank female students (36th). Hedge has the smallest classes (student-teacher ratio of 9.3) and higher per-student spending ($20,085) than several nearby schools posting stronger overall results, so resource levels alone don't explain the performance gap. With only 210 students, grade-level and subgroup results can swing noticeably from one year to the next, so trends are worth watching over multiple years.
