The Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School is a public K-
8 school and is open to children from any Massachusetts town,
on a space available basis. Priority is given to siblings of
current students and residents of Hampshire and Franklin counties.
No tuition or application fee is required. Hilltown does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed,
sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability,
age, ancestry, athletic performance, special need, proficiency
in the English language, or academic
achievement. Parents of prospective
students should contact the school for an application, or
download
the Application and mail it or email
it to the school.
Tours of the school are available by appointment starting
in October and an Open House is held every January. As required
by Massachusetts regulation Hilltown conducts an annual admissions
lottery in February to assign students to a waiting list for
the following September. As openings occur, the top person
on the list is offered the slot. Following the admissions
lottery, parents are notified of acceptance or waiting list
status. Applicants remain on the waiting for the duration
of the school year as there may be mid- year openings. Once
a student is enrolled at Hilltown s/he has a secure space
for subsequent years. School meetings orient families to the
cooperative structure of the school and help welcome them
into the school community.
