Summary:
Becket, Massachusetts has exactly one public school — Becket Washington School — an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 91 students, and the area summary confirms 1 elementary, 0 middle, 0 high, and 0 alternative schools, so there are no in-city peers to compare and the useful benchmarks are the Central Berkshire district and Massachusetts state averages.
Science is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, all-grades Science proficiency was 69.23%, far above the district's 48.26% and the state's 40.98%; the 5th-grade Science score was also 69.23%, suggesting Science is assessed at grade 5 here, and in 2024–2025 Science was still above both at 54.55%. All-grades English Language Arts was 50%, above the district's 45.56% and the state's 40.03%, and all-grades Math was 53.19%, above the district's 44.23% and the state's 41.11%. Those aggregates hide a sharp split by grade: 3rd-grade ELA was 66.67% and 5th-grade ELA 53.85%, but 4th-grade ELA was just 16.67%; similarly, 3rd-grade Math was 61.9% and 5th-grade Math 69.23%, while 4th-grade Math was 23.08%. With only 91 students, grade-level results reflect very small cohorts, so these swings should be read cautiously.
Math has also varied year to year: after all-grades Math came in at 33.33% in 2024–2025 — below the district's 43.37% and the state's 40.74% — it rose to 53.19% in 2025–2026. The school's statewide rank rebounded from 427 of 906 (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 274 of 899 (70th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, though 2023–2024 had been 262 of 916 at the 71st percentile with 4 stars; its 70th percentile also sits above the district's 60th percentile. Per-student spending was $21,213 (2020–2021) and the student-teacher ratio was 10.2 (2024–2025), while free/reduced-lunch status is not reported and should be treated as unknown.
