Williamsburg

Located at 1 Petticoat Hill Road in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, the Williamsburg public school district serves as an independent, fully operational public school system dedicated to foundational elementary education. Set in a charming rural fringe environment within the greater Amherst Town-Northampton metropolitan area, the district operates a single school facility focused exclusively on young learners from prekindergarten through sixth grade. Families and educational researchers will find a supportive, close-knit community structure designed to foster early academic and social growth before students transition to upper-level regional facilities. Community members and prospective parents can easily connect with the administration via phone at (413) 527-7200 or online at their official portal, hr-k12.org.

Based on federal education metrics for the 2024–2025 academic year, Williamsburg maintains a highly focused educational environment, serving a total student enrollment of 111 children across its primary grade levels. The student body includes 51 female and 60 male students—comprising 102 White students and 9 Hispanic students—with individual class cohorts ranging from 8 prekindergartners and 12 kindergarteners up through 19 fifth-graders and 17 sixth-graders. What truly sets the district apart is its exceptional staffing ratio and commitment to individual student attention. Williamsburg employs 34 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers alongside 7 instructional aides and nearly 20 dedicated support personnel, bringing the district’s total workforce to over 60 FTE staff members. This strong adult presence ensures an extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio, enabling highly individualized instruction, comprehensive academic support, and a nurturing atmosphere for every child.
