criminal record massachusetts

Do colleges see my criminal record?
I’m a sophomore in high school. I’m in Massachusetts. I didn’t get arrested, but I have to go to a minor hearing in a few weeks about an assault case (please don’t tell me I’m a bad person, that’s not why I’m asking this). They said it will most likely be erased. So, therefore, a college has no way of knowing this happened? Thanks.
It probably wont matter too much if you have only had a minor incident it probably also matters which colleges you are looking into because some schools might want certain expectations.
You might also want to talk to a schools counselor and see what their advice is.
