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 395 Massachusetts districts is 46.6 percent.

Academic Performance & Context
Lenox’s four-year graduation rate was 95.0%. MCAS results, graduation rates, and accountability data are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
One number here is a civics fact rather than an education one. Per-pupil spending is not set in this building or by the Superintendent. The school budget is proposed by the Superintendent, approved by the elected School Committee, and then voted at Town Meeting, in the same room, on the same night, by the same registered voters who vote everything else the town spends. If you want a say in what your schools have to work with, that room is where it happens.
