About Hampshire School District
Zip code 01073 in Hampshire, Massachusetts is served by Hampshire School District for public school enrollment. The district covers grades 7th – 12th. This page provides a data-driven overview of Hampshire School District’s funding levels, size, rating, and what families should know before enrolling or making a housing decision in this area.
Understanding the 4/10 Rating
With a rating of 4/10 (below average), Hampshire School District ranks among Massachusetts’s below average-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Massachusetts’ MCAS grades 3–8 assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Massachusetts is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Hampshire School District carries a below-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates below typical Massachusetts benchmarks on state assessments. A below-average score reflects test performance relative to other districts — not necessarily teaching quality or school culture, and some of these districts have schools with strong communities and dedicated staff. Families should research specific school quality, visit in person, and ask about available programs. Also ask about open enrollment and magnet options that may offer alternatives to the default attendance-zone assignment.
