Summary:
Adams, Massachusetts currently has just one listed high school: Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School, a charter school serving grades 6–12 with 364 students. It belongs to the Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public (District), which serves this single school, so school and district results are identical throughout. Because it is the only high school here, there is no other local school to compare it with. It is also a combined middle-and-high school, so its "All Grades" MCAS scores blend grades 6–8 with grades 10 and end-of-course results, which can mask how different grade levels are actually performing.
The academic picture is uneven. Grade 8 Science is a clear bright spot at 61.02% proficient versus the state's 38.93%, and grade 10 English Language Arts is also strong at 67.74% versus 45.48%. Mathematics is the weakest area: All Grades math was 23.98% versus the state's 41.11%, and every tested grade fell below the state — grade 6 at 16.42% versus 42.59%, grade 7 at 17.91% versus 37.48%, grade 8 at 38.71% versus 41.67%, and grade 10 at 38.46% versus 43.73%. Middle-school ELA was also below the state, and high-school science results were weaker than grade 8 science, with grade 10 Science at 32.00% versus 40.50% and Biology End of Course at 29.73% versus 37.68%.
On other measures, the 2024–2025 graduation rate is 90.0% alongside a 6.7% dropout rate, and the student-teacher ratio is 9.4 students per teacher, with per-student spending of $18,350 in 2020–2021. The school's ranking history moved from the 36th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 54th percentile in 2025–2026 with 3 stars, while the district entry lists a rank of 211 of 351 at the 40th percentile with 2 stars. The free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, so the socioeconomic context is unknown.
