Summary:
ZIP code 01012 covers Chesterfield, Massachusetts, and contains just one school: New Hingham Regional Elementary, a PK–6 elementary school serving 126 students as part of the Chesterfield-Goshen district. Because there are no middle or high schools in this ZIP code, families here look elsewhere for grades 7 and beyond. With only one school, there is nothing to compare locally, so the useful benchmarks are state averages and the school's own past results.
In 2025–26 MCAS results the overall picture is mixed. Mathematics proficiency is 41.18%, essentially level with the state's 41.11%. English Language Arts is 32.35% against 40.03% statewide, and Science is 35.71% against 40.98%. Those overall figures hide wide differences by grade. Sixth-grade math stands out at 68.42% proficient versus 42.59% statewide — a 25.83-point advantage — while 5th grade math (42.86% vs. 39.50%) and 6th grade ELA (42.11% vs. 40.26%) are slightly above state. The weak spots are in the early grades: 3rd grade ELA at 15.38%, which is 27.41 points below state, plus 3rd grade math at 23.08% and 4th grade math at 27.27%.
The rank history shows a high point followed by a pullback. The school earned 3 stars and ranked 392 of 906 (57th percentile) in 2024–25, then slipped to 2 stars, 521 of 899 (42nd percentile) in 2025–26; 2023–24 was 2 stars, 564 of 916 (38th percentile). All three subjects declined year over year, with Science falling 14.29 points while the state dropped only 0.53. The district ranks 240 of 351 (32nd percentile, 2 stars). Other details: student-teacher ratio of 8.7, spending of $23,721 per student in 2020–21, and free/reduced-lunch data unavailable. With small grade cohorts, year-to-year swings can be large and should be read with caution.
