Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School is a charter school district serving students in the hilltown region of western Massachusetts. Hilltown communities are rural and sparsely populated, characterized by farmland, forests, and small villages set among the hills of Hampshire and Franklin counties. As a cooperative charter, the school is governed in a manner distinct from traditional municipal districts and is open to students from surrounding towns through enrollment rather than residential assignment. The district does not operate a high school, so students at the secondary level attend programs through other arrangements.
