These figures describe the whole Quabbin Regional district, which Hardwick shares with Barre, Hubbardston, New Braintree, and Oakham, not Hardwick alone. High needs is a state count, not a score: it includes every student who is from a low income household, learning English, or receiving special education services, and counts each one only once. The median across all 396 Massachusetts districts is 46.7 percent.
