Summary:
ZIP code 01225 is home to one middle school: Hoosac Valley Middle School, serving grades 4–7 with 304 students as part of the Hoosac Valley Regional district. Because it is the only middle school in this ZIP code, families should judge it against district and state averages rather than against other local schools. The school has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 and per-student spending of $17,802. Free/reduced lunch information is not reported in this data, so it is simply unavailable.
Science is clearly the brightest spot. In 2025–2026, 50.88% of students were proficient in Science, above the district's 34.53% and the state's 40.98%. Science also improved from 44.19% the year before. English Language Arts and Mathematics tell a different story: ELA proficiency was 23.10% versus 40.03% statewide, and Math was 17.94% versus 41.11% statewide, the largest gap of any subject. The weakest grade level is Grade 4, where just 10.00% of students were proficient in Math and 13.19% in ELA, compared with 43.20% and 37.43% statewide. Grade 6 is comparatively stronger, with ELA at 38.46% — only 1.80 points below the state — and Math at 24.36%, slightly above the district but still below state.
Year over year, the picture is mixed. Science gained 6.69 points, while ELA slipped from 27.37% to 23.10% and Math stayed nearly flat at 17.99% to 17.94%. Notably, the district improved in both ELA and Math, so the school lost the lead over its district that it held in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranks have moved from 362 of 493 (1 star) in 2023–2024 to 326 of 478 (2 stars, 32nd percentile) in 2025–2026 — better than the district's 14th-percentile, 1-star listing, but still below the state average. Overall, this is a school with a real Science strength and some bright spots in Grades 6 and 7, alongside significant challenges in Math and ELA, especially in Grade 4.
