Summary:
ZIP code 01339, which covers Charlemont, Massachusetts, contains just one listed public school: Hawlemont Regional, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 — there is no middle or high school inside the ZIP, so families must look beyond the area for secondary education.
Because Hawlemont Regional is the only school here, comparisons are against state averages rather than other local schools. It enrolls 71 students, has a small 7.7:1 student-teacher ratio (2024–2025), and spent $20,677 per student (2020–2021); free/reduced lunch data was not reported. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, All Grades ELA was 38.89% versus the state's 40.03%, All Grades math was 27.78% versus 41.11%, and All Grades science was 40.00% versus 40.98%. Fifth-grade ELA (40.00% vs. 38.15%) came in above the state, while 6th-grade math (27.27% vs. 42.59%) fell well below it. Year over year, ELA improved from 35.29% to 38.89% and math from 14.29% to 27.78%, while science dropped from 60.00% — 18.49 points above state — to 40.00%.
Rankings, however, point the other way: the Hawlemont district ranks 250 of 351 (29th percentile, 1 star), and the school's percentile slipped from 50 to 43 to 40 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, with stars falling from 3 to 2. Overall, math is the clearest weakness, ELA is close to state, and science is highly volatile. With only 71 students, grade-level percentages can swing sharply from a few students changing categories, so year-to-year changes should be read with caution.
