Monson

The town of Monson, Massachusetts is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Granite Valley School and Quarry Hill Community School) and 1 high school (Monson High School). The data reveals that Monson High School is the standout performer, ranking 177 out of 348 Massachusetts high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Granite Valley School stands out for its stronger performance on 6th grade MCAS proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to district and state averages. It also has a higher percentage of students proficient in Science across all grades.
