Summary

Munger Hill is a PK–4 elementary school in Westfield, MA serving about 320 students, part of the Westfield district in western Massachusetts. It ranks 705th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 22nd percentile with 1 star — below its own district, which itself ranks 241st of 351 districts (31st percentile, 2 stars).

Test scores are low. All-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 27.72%, compared with 31.31% district-wide and 40.03% statewide; all-grade math is 26.00%, versus 34.66% district and 41.11% state. Among nearby elementary schools with current data, these are the lowest: Southampton Road (40.15% ELA, 46.67% math), Paper Mill (34.56%, 38.06%), Highland (40.19%, 55.66%), William P. Sapelli Elementary (40.95%, 48.08%), Tatham (46.10%, 52.48%), John R Fausey (41.39%, 53.48%), Powder Mill School (40.11%, 36.81%) and Clifford M Granger (46.72%, 49.64%) all score higher. Woodland School has no current scores in this data. Munger Hill's math proficiency is more than 10 points below the next-lowest nearby school.

Grade-level results show particular weakness in 4th grade and in math: 3rd-grade ELA 35.56%, 4th-grade ELA 21.43%, 3rd-grade math 27.27%, and 4th-grade math 25.00% — all below district and state. Effectiveness ranks for special education students (681st of 709) and low-income students (689th of 742) are in the bottom 10% statewide with 0 stars. The school has declined over time, from the 63rd percentile in 2016–2017 to 22nd today. Yet its student-teacher ratio (10.5) is lower than most neighbors and per-student spending ($15,390) is mid-range, suggesting the challenge isn't class size or total resources but instructional quality and student supports. Grade spans differ slightly — Munger Hill is PK–4 while some neighbors are K–5 or 3–6 — but the grade 3 and 4 comparisons reinforce the same pattern.

Tuesday, February 9, 2016

Open Quote My ADHD child developed a bruise from home, and instead of calling the parents to ask questions, this school called children service's! Very unprofessional and will not be sending my child here next year! This is just one reason why they are rated 3 out of 10 in local schools! Poor judgement by the teachers. Very disgusted on how this was handled! Close Quote
