Summary:
The Hoosac Valley Regional school district in Massachusetts consists of three schools: Hoosac Valley Elementary School, Hoosac Valley High School, and Hoosac Valley Middle School. While the middle school stands out as the highest-performing in the district, the overall academic performance across the schools lags behind state averages, with consistently low proficiency rates in MCAS testing.
The Hoosac Valley Middle School ranks 362 out of 493 Massachusetts middle schools, the highest among the three Hoosac Valley schools. It outperforms the district and state averages in several MCAS test score categories, including 5th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Science. In contrast, the Hoosac Valley Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 30% of students proficient in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios across the district, the schools are not translating these resources into improved academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial and ethnic diversity. Addressing these systemic challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify the root causes and implement effective strategies for improvement within the Hoosac Valley Regional school district.
