Summary:
ZIP code 01077 contains exactly one high school — Southwick Regional School — a grades 7–12 school with 588 students in the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District in western Massachusetts. Because it is the only high school in the area, there is no local peer comparison to make; the useful benchmarks are the school against its district, against the state, and against its own recent history. The record includes three years of rankings (2023–24 through 2025–26), 2024–25 graduation and dropout rates, MCAS Next Generation proficiency for 2024–25 and 2025–26, per-student spending of $17,684 from 2020–21, and a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 for 2024–25. Free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported in this record, so economic context is unknown rather than zero, and the spending figure is several years old.
The strongest results are in outcomes and in middle-grade math and science. The graduation rate is 96.5% and the dropout rate is 0.0% for 2024–25, both matching the district. In 2025–26, 8th-grade Math reached 44.83% proficient (above the state's 41.67%) and 8th-grade Science reached 44.19% (above the state's 38.93%), with All Grades Science also at 44.19% versus the state's 40.98%. Several subjects improved year over year: All Grades ELA rose from 34.52 to 36.11, Math from 32.98 to 36.36, Science from 27.62 to 44.19, and 8th-grade Civics from 28.43 to 36.78.
The cautions are equally clear. ELA sits below the state at every grade level, with 7th grade showing the widest gap at 31.52% versus 39.91%. Science is sharply divided: 10th-grade Science is 27.06% against a state figure of 40.50%, and Physics fell from 52% (All Grades, 2024–25) to 36.59% (End of Course, 2025–26), now below the state's 46.58%. Rankings have been volatile — 3 stars and 56th percentile in 2023–24, 2 stars and 30th percentile in 2024–25, then 2 stars and 41st percentile in 2025–26 — showing recovery without a return to the earlier peak.
