Summary:
ZIP code 01036 contains exactly one school — Green Meadows Elementary at 38 North Rd in Hampden, MA — an elementary school serving grades PK–8 with 285 students as part of the Hampden-Wilbraham district, which means there are no local peer schools to compare it against and the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own past results.
The school is on a clear upward path. In 2023-2024 it ranked 436 out of 916 schools, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars; by 2025-2026 it had climbed to 267 out of 899, the 70th percentile with 4 stars. In 2025-2026, all-grade results beat both the district and the state in every tested subject: ELA at 53.91 (versus 45.80 district and 40.03 state), math at 50.00 (versus 46.62 and 41.11), and science at 58.70 (versus 47.84 and 40.98). ELA is especially notable — it rose 5.68 points year over year while district ELA fell 4.04 points and state ELA fell 1.50 points, and it was the one subject where the school trailed the district in 2024-2025.
Grade-level results show where the strengths and the gaps are. Fifth grade math is a standout at 71.74 proficient, compared with 53.96 in the district and 39.50 in the state. ELA is solid across grades 3, 4, and 5, all above district and state, and fifth grade science is 58.70 versus 50.00 in the district and 43.07 statewide. The clearest weakness is third grade math at 34.38, below both the district (37.37) and the state (42.19), and all-grade math slipped 2.48 points from the prior year. Context data is limited: the student-teacher ratio is 12.6 for 2024-2025 and per-student spending was $18,064 in 2020-2021, while the free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, so family economic context cannot be assessed.
