Summary:
ZIP code 01220 in Adams, Massachusetts contains one elementary school, Hoosac Valley Elementary School, which serves grades PK–3 and enrolls 398 students as part of the Hoosac Valley Regional district. Because it is the only elementary school in this ZIP code, families here have a single public elementary option, and the most useful comparisons are against its own district and the state rather than against nearby schools.
The school's test results show a large one-year jump in proficiency. In 2024–25, 12.09% of students were proficient in English language arts and 5.49% in math, both below the district (20.34% ELA, 12.95% math) and well below the state (41.53% ELA, 40.74% math). In 2025–26, ELA proficiency rose to 27.78% and math to 19.44% — gains of roughly 15.7 and 14.0 percentage points. That put the school above its district in both subjects (district: 24.27% ELA, 18.58% math), but still below the state (40.03% ELA, 41.11% math). Math remains the sharper weakness, at less than half the state rate. Interestingly, all-grades and 3rd-grade results are identical in 2025–26, which fits a school whose tested population is essentially the 3rd-grade cohort.
Other context is mixed. The district ranks 302 of 351 schools, at the 14th percentile with 1 star, and the school's older rank history (2014–15 through 2016–17) also shows 1-star ratings with percentiles of 14, 19, and 20; those recent proficiency gains are not yet reflected in updated rank history here. The student-teacher ratio is 11.9, suggesting relatively small classes, though no district or state ratio is provided for comparison. Per-student spending was $19,180 in 2020–21, several years older than the test data and not directly tied to current outcomes. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed. Overall: clear improvement, but performance still trails the state, especially in math.
