Charlemont, Massachusetts
The Mohawk Trail Schools by the Numbers
A snapshot of the Mohawk Trail Regional School District, the eight-town district that educates about 758 students in grades 7 to 12. Charlemont’s youngest children attend Hawlemont Regional, its own PreK to 6 district shared with Hawley; these figures cover the Mohawk Trail region, not Charlemont alone. Detailed data comes from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
