Summary:
ZIP code 01237 contains two public elementary schools — Lanesborough Elementary and Hancock Elementary — both serving grades PK–6, with no middle, high, or alternative school in the area, so local students continue elsewhere for grades 7–12. Together they enroll 279 students: Lanesborough has 231 (about 83% of the total) and Hancock has 48 (about 17%). The schools belong to different districts: Lanesborough is in Mount Greylock, ranked 81 of 351 districts (77th percentile, 4 stars), while Hancock is in the Hancock district, which has no rank provided.
Lanesborough Elementary stands out most for math: 61.34% proficient at all grades, above both the state's 41.11% and its district's 57.01%, with 6th grade at 81.25% and 3rd grade at 72%. Science is the weak spot — 31.03%, below the state's 40.98% and far below the district's 51.35%, and down sharply from 52.94% the prior year. ELA is mixed at 45.38%, above the state's 40.03% but below the district's 55.92%, ranging from 67.74% in 6th grade to 24.14% in 5th grade.
Hancock Elementary leads in current-year ELA at 60% proficient versus the state's 40.03%, while its math result, 40%, is close to the state's 41.11%. Last year the pattern reversed (ELA 31.58%, math 52.63%), and with only 48 students those swings should be read cautiously. Hancock has the lower student-teacher ratio (8.2 versus 10.5) and lower per-student spending ($18,134 versus $22,250), though these differences do not map neatly onto test results. Free/reduced-lunch figures are not reported for either school, so socioeconomic context is unavailable, and Hancock's most recent listed rank dates to 2016–2017.
