Gardner is a small city in north-central Massachusetts, about sixty miles west of Boston on State Route 2. The community’s rich history as a lumber town and manufacturing center has earned Gardner nicknames like “The Furniture Capital of New England” and “Chair City.” The city center is a charming collective of vintage buildings at the confluence of Main, Parker, and Central Streets, with popular locally-owned businesses like Paramount Cafe and Gardner Ale House occupying the historic storefronts. Numerous city parks are spread throughout Gardner’s neighborhoods, with larger natural attractions like Crystal Lake and Dunn State Park easily accessible as well.

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.
