Fitchburg is a fairly small city in north central Massachusetts on the banks of the Nashua River. At its eastside campus, Fitchburg State University enrolls around 7,000 students and employs hundreds of locals as faculty and staff, and serves as a major cultural and intellectual hub for the community. The city is surrounded by lush nature preserves, with the forests and mountains providing endless opportunities for outdoor recreation— cool off at the Great Lodge New England water park in the summer, and hit the slopes at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area in the winter. Boston is only about fifty miles to the east, with MBTA rail service allowing you to make the trip in less than ninety minutes.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
