Middle Schools in North Adams Community Schools

North Adams Community Schools has only one middle school, Bellmont Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. As the sole middle school in the district, Bellmont Middle School's performance provides a clear picture of the middle school experience for students in the North Adams community.

Bellmont Middle School has maintained a relatively consistent performance on ILEARN assessments over the past two school years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science remaining stable and generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages. However, the school faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 47.02%. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's performance and could require additional resources and support to address.

While Bellmont Middle School's overall performance is solid, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas like Math and Science proficiency. By identifying and addressing the specific factors contributing to these lower proficiency rates, the school and North Adams Community Schools district can work to enhance the academic success of their middle school students.
